Abstract
A cross-connector system for connecting two rods of an implantable vertebral rod system utilizes relatively low-stress concentration contact areas between the connector elements and the rods. The cross-connector system includes a two-piece, elongated member (100) that is adjustable lengthwise and has, at each end, hook-shaped ends (103, 112) which each cooperate with a rotatable, eccentric cam plug (117, 126) having a curved surface (118, 128) that engages and secures a rod to the hook-shaped end in a manner that optimally distributes load to minimize stress concentrations.
