An apparatus ( 10 ) includes a fastener ( 16 ) engageable with a bone portion to connect a longitudinal member ( 12 ) to the bone portion. A housing ( 40 ) has a first passage ( 42 ) configured to receive the longitudinal member ( 12 ) and a second passage ( 44 ) extending transverse to the first passage. The fastener ( 16 ) extends through an opening ( 50 ) in the housing ( 40 ) into the second passage ( 44 ). A longitudinal axis ( 18 ) of the fastener ( 16 ) is positionable in any one of a plurality of angular positions relative to a longitudinal axis ( 46 ) of the second passage ( 44 ). A spacer ( 60 ) received in the second passage ( 44 ) of the housing ( 40 ) is engageable with the fastener ( 16 ) and the longitudinal member ( 12 ). A member ( 70 ) applies a force to prevent relative movement between the fastener ( 16 ) and the housing ( 40 ) and permit manual movement of the fastener ( 16 ) relative to the housing ( 40 ) against the force when the longitudinal member ( 12 ) is disengaged from the spacer ( 60 ). A clamping mechanism ( 90 ) clamps the longitudinal member ( 12 ), the spacer ( 60 ), and the housing ( 40 ) to the fastener ( 16 ) to prevent movement of the fastener relative to the housing.
