Abstract
A device for connecting a bone fastener to a longitudinal rod has two bores spaced a distance apart and generally parallel axes. A holding member may be associated with one bore, the holding member configured to engage a bone fastener such as a bone screw or pedicle hook. A rod coupling member may be associated with the other bore, the coupling member configured to engage a longitudinal rod. The holding member and rod coupling member both are configured to articulate within their respective bores, thus allowing the rod and rod coupling, as well as the holding member and bone fastener, to rotate about both bore axes. The holding member and rod coupling member also separately lockable to allow independent locking of the bone fastener and the rod to the connector, thus preventing or enabling relative rotation as desired.
