Abstract
The present application is directed to devices and methods for attaching one or more elongated members to a posterior surface of a vertebral member. The devices may include a body with a first face that contacts the vertebral member and a second opposite face. A hook may extend outward from the first face to engage the vertebral member. The body may also include one or more receivers to receive the elongated members. An engagement member may be movably connected to the body. The engagement member may include a first section that contacts the body, and a second section that includes a second hook. The engagement member may be positioned relative to the body to adjust a distance between the first and second hooks to attach the body to the vertebral member. A fastener may secure the engagement member to the body at the desired position. The fastener may also attach the one or more elongated members to the body.
