Or there is a implantable technological device called a "hinged bone plate" that is used in spinal surgery to stabilize two vertebrae to each other as in a "spinal fusion" but which allows for more movement with the ability of flexion of the hinged pieces attached one end to one vertebrae and the other end to the adjacent vertebrae with a hinge in between.
