摘要:
A spinal correction system comprises a fixation element including a proximal portion and a distal portion. The proximal portion includes a wall that defines a cavity and at least one post including a first portion and a second portion having a center. The fixation element further includes a locking element engageable with the wall to dispose the second portion in the cavity. A connector defines a first cavity configured for disposal of a longitudinal element and a second cavity configured for disposal of the first portion. The fixation element is moveable between a first orientation such that the first portion is rotatable to a selected angle about the center in a plurality of planes relative to the distal portion and a second orientation such that the locking element fixes the first portion in a selected position relative to the distal portion. Methods of use are disclosed.
