POSTERIOR INCREMENTAL SPINAL FIXATION SYSTEM

摘要

A spinal fixation device may include a bone anchoring member, a rod receiver, and an connection member. The rod receiver may include a channel for receiving a rod projection from a first adjacent fixation assembly. The rod receiver may have a central axis such that the channel is generally perpendicular to the central axis. The connection member may have a rod projection configured to extend to a second adjacent fixation assembly. The rod receiver may be coupled to the connection member and rotatable about the central axis of the rod receiver. The interior fixation assembly may be axially fixed such that the bone anchoring member, the rod receiver and the connection member are not translatably movable relative to each other.
