A transverse connector (10) for interconnecting first and second spine rods (12) extending along a spinal column includes a first connecting member (30) connectable with the first spine rod (12). A second connecting member (44) is connectable with the second spine rod (12). A connecting rod (42) connected to the first and second connecting members (30, 44) extends between the first and second connecting members. The connecting rod (42) is rotatable about a longitudinal axis (51) of said connecting rod relative to said first connecting member and pivotable about a pivot axis (54) extending transverse to said longitudinal axis. A fastener (58) connects the connecting rod (42) to the first connecting member (30) in any one of a plurality of positions about the longitudinal axis of the connecting rod and in any one of a plurality of pivot positions about the pivot axis. The connecting rod (42) is also positionable along the longitudinal axis (51) of the connecting rod relative to the first connecting member (30).
