Abstract

A connector comprising at least one pair of apertures for receiving a fixation means, such as a screw, a load bearing filament extending continuously along a predefined circuitous path which extends between and around each of the apertures of said pair of apertures, said load bearing filament extending around each aperture to define multiple aperture forming strands of said load bearing filaments, said multiple aperture forming strands of said load bearing filament being bound together around each aperture by binding filaments in order to constrain relative lateral movement between said aperture forming multiple strands and to define the shape of each aperture.
