The rod reducer assembly includes a pedicle screw housing that defines a rodreceiving recess and an extension assembly that extends from the pedicle screw housing. The extension assembly is coupled to the pedicle screw housing by a frangible member. The rod reducer assembly further includes a rod reducer. The rod reducer includes a knob and a sleeve assembly. The sleeve assembly includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve. The inner sleeve includes a finger that is selectively attachable to the extension assembly to secure the rod reducer to the extension assembly. The outer sleeve is axially movable relative to the inner sleeve to reduce a spinal rod into the rod-receiving recess of the pedicle screw housing in response to rotation of the knob relative to the sleeve assembly.t.
