Methods and devices for stabilizing spinal anatomical structures. Some example methods may include introducing a curved segment of an elongate fastener placement rod adjacent to a bone, providing a fastener at the leading end of the curved segment, and/or securing the fastener in place with respect to the bone.
1. A method for stabilizing a bone in a body of a subject, comprising: introducing, into the body of the subject, a curved segment of an elongate, fastener placement rod, such that a leading end of the curved segment at least partially circumnavigates the bone;providing, at the leading end of the cu
1. A method for stabilizing a bone in a body of a subject, comprising: introducing, into the body of the subject, a curved segment of an elongate, fastener placement rod, such that a leading end of the curved segment at least partially circumnavigates the bone;providing, at the leading end of the curved segment of the fastener placement rod, a fastener at the bone;securing the fastener with respect to the bone, wherein the fastener is secured with respect to the bone utilizing at least one flexible line;passing the flexible line from the fastener through at least a portion of the bone to a separate securing point within the body, wherein the passing step is performed utilizing a gripper at a leading end of an elongate gripper rod which pulls the flexible line from the fastener and at least through the portion of the bone to the separate securing point within the body, wherein the elongate fastener placement rod and elongate gripper rod extend from a hand-held guidance and positioning device; andforming a hole through the portion of the bone prior to the pulling step, wherein the hole forming step is performed by an elongate drill rod extending from the hand-held guidance and positioning device,wherein: the bone is a first bone,the flexible line is provided attached to the fastener at the first bone, andthe method includes a step of passing the flexible line from the fastener and at least through the portion of the first bone, through at least a portion of a second bone to a separate securing point within the body, thereby stabilizing at least the first and second bones with respect to each other. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising securing the at least one flexible line at the separate securing point by a second fastener. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of securing the at least one flexible line at the separate securing point by the second fastener comprises crimping the second fastener to the flexible line. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the crimping step comprises introducing a crimping mechanism extending from an elongate rod of a crimping tool through an incision in the body and adjacent to the second fastener. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one flexible line comprises a suture. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one flexible line comprises a cable. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the elongate gripper rod and elongate drill rod are guided by a guide tube extending from the hand-held guidance and positioning device. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the elongate gripper rod extends from the hand-held guidance and positioning device along an axis that runs adjacent to or through the leading end of the curved segment of the fastener placement rod. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first bone is a first vertebra and the second bone is a second vertebra. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first bone is a first spinous process and the second bone is a second spinous process. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the method includes a step of passing the flexible line from the fastener and at least through the portion of the first bone, through at least a portion of a second bone, and through at least a portion of a third bone to the separate securing point within the body, thereby stabilizing at least the first, second and third bones with respect to each other. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the passing step further comprises passing the flexible line through an implant. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the first bone is a first side of a cervical spine and the second bone is a second side of the cervical spine. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises passing the flexible line through a tubular implant positioned between the first and second bones. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising a step of tensioning at least a portion of the flexible line extending between the fastener and the separate securing point. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the flexible line extends to or through a stabilization rod or plate. 17. A method for stabilizing a bone in a body of a subject, comprising: connecting a flexible line and a fastener;introducing a curved segment of an elongate, fastener placement rod into the body of the subject, such that a leading end of the curved segment at least partially circumnavigates the bone;providing, at the leading end of the curved segment of the fastener placement rod, the fastener and the flexible line at a fastener placement point that is at the bone, the providing step including passing the fastener and attached flexible line through the curved segment of the elongate fastener placement rod to the leading end;passing the attached flexible line from approximate the fastener placement point through at least a portion of the bone to a securing point, wherein the passing step is performed utilizing a gripper at a leading end of an elongate gripper rod to pull the attached flexible line from approximate the fastener placement point through at least the portion of the bone to the securing point, wherein the elongate fastener placement rod and the elongate gripper rod extend from a hand-held guidance and positioning device;forming a hole through the portion of the bone prior to the passing step, wherein the hole forming step is performed by an elongate drill rod extending from the hand-held guidance and positioning device;tensioning the flexible line between the fastener placement point and the securing point; andsecuring the flexible line at the securing point. 18. The method of claim 17 wherein the elongate gripper rod and the elongate drill rod are guided by a guide tube extending from the hand-held guidance and positioning device.
