Abstract
A connector pivotally connects an anchor to a longitudinal member in a spinal implant. The connector body may include an oppositely disposed channel and cavity that are aligned on a common axis of the body, but isolated from each other. The channel receives the longitudinal member and the cavity receives the anchor. The anchor may include a shaft and an enlarged head that fits within the cavity. The cavity may include a narrow opening that is sized to retain the head within the cavity. The head may pivot within a wear member. The anchor may freely pivot within the cavity when a fastener mates with the receiver to maintain the longitudinal member within the channel.
