摘要:
Minimally invasive vertebral stabilization systems may include at least one fastener, at least one coupling element connected to the fastener, and an elongate rod member. The fastener is deliverable to a vertebral body of a patient through an opening. The coupling element has at least one extended tab which defines an open central portion and a central longitudinal axis. The elongate rod member is configured to extend through the open central portion and be secured to the coupling element. The extended tab is configured to be removed from the coupling element once the elongate rod is secured to the coupling element.
