An apparatus for stabilizing the spine for surgical treatment or other spinal problems which necessitate a fixation of certain spinal components. The system includes a smooth spinal rod (30), at least two connectors slidable along said rod (30) and at least two pedicle screws (12) for fixation to a healthy pedicle bone on either side of the vertebrae to be repaired, said connectors each including a one-piece clamping member (14) connecting said pedicle screws (12) to said rod (30). The connectors permit limited pivoting movement of rod (30) with respect to screws (12) for accurate positioning of said rod (30) with respect to the pedicle screws (12). <IMAGE>
