A spinal rod insertion instrument includes a hollow, monolithic body having a proximal end and a distal end. The body defines a passageway that extends along a first axis between the proximal and distal ends. The distal end includes first and second arms defining a slot therebetween. The first and second arms are configured to releasably retain a spinal rod therebetween. Also provided is a method of securing a spinal rod to a coupling element attached with a pedicle screw. |
