  • Rod to rod connectors and methods of adjusting the length of a spinal rod construct
    Patent number: 8475499
    Abstract: A connector for connecting a first spinal rod to a second spinal rod includes a body having a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The first end of the body has a first rod opening formed therein for receiving the first spinal rod and the second end has a second rod opening formed therein for receiving the second rod. The body of the connector has a passage extending between the first opening and the second opening. The body of the connector has a plurality of spaced apart adjustment openings oriented along the length of the body between the first end and the second end, the adjustment openings communicating with the passage to facilitate adjustment of the first and second spinal rods within the passage.
