Abstract
A spinal column retainer including a rod for positioning along a spinal column, a fastener having a first portion for screwing into a portion of the spinal column and a second portion for receiving a nut, a retainer block including a passage for receiving the rod, a threaded passage for receiving a set screw, and a transverse passage, and an angular member extending between the retainer block and the fastener. The angular member has an inner end portion captured within the retainer block, an outer end portion secured to the fastener, and a connecting portion between the end portions which forms an angular bend to offset the outer end portion from an axis of the inner end portion. The set screw forces the rod against the angular member which is forced against the retainer block, preventing movement of the components relative to one another.
