Abstract
Connectors for interconnecting rods, fixed to vertebrae and other bones of a subject include a body portion and two recesses or pockets for receiving the rods. These connectors are generally able to be secured to the rods by a tightening a fastener or retaining member from above the spine, which can facilitate the procedure for the surgeon. The connectors can include rotatable or stationary pockets, mating members that pivot and/or translate within the coronal plane of the subject to adjust to the positions of the rods, and extension shafts that pivot to adjust for rod angle.
