摘要：
A Linking Transconnector (10) is disclosed for coupling a first longitudinal spinal rod to a second longitudinal spinal rod. The Linking Transconnector generally includes a pair of hook engaging members (50) for engaging the longitudinal spinal rods, a lateral rod (20) for spanning a distance between the hook engaging members (50), and a locking element (100) which interconnects the hook engaging members (50) with the rod. The locking element (100) being configured to allow for multiple degrees of adjustment to permit the linking transconnector (10) to accommodate for varying spinal rod alignments. The locking elements (100) also permits the location of the lateral rod (20) to be fixed relative to the hook engaging members (50) once the desired position of the lateral rod (20) with respect to the longitudinal spinal rods has been achieved. The locking element (100) may also be able to fix the position of the lateral rod (20) with respect to the hook engaging members (50) by a force applied to the locking element (50).
