Abstract
A spine stabilization rod assembly comprises a rod and a sleeve member. The rod has a substantially round cross-sectional profile, a one-piece construction, and a substantially straight longitudinal axis. The rod has a reduced diameter segment between two opposing end segments thereof such that a shoulder is defined between the reduced diameter segment and each one of the end segments. The sleeve member is positioned over the reduced diameter segment of the rod. The sleeve member and the rod are coupled to each other such that translation of the sleeve along the rod causes an end portion of the sleeve to engage a corresponding one of the shoulders for limiting such translation.
