Abstract
An extension rod device is provided for extending an existing spinal fixation system. The device can engage with implanted spinal fixation elements and house extension spinal rods that expand the fixation system to adjacent vertebrae. According to various embodiments, an extension rod device may include one or more extension spinal rods attachable to a transverse connector that is secured between an existing, implanted spinal fixation system. The extension rod device may attach to an existing transverse connector, already implanted with the existing spinal fixation system, or the extension rod device may include a new transverse connector, also for securing to the existing spinal fixation system.
