A spinal rod connector (300) for joining a first rod and a second rod includes bore holes that are offset and/or non-parallel to each other. The rod connector provides an offset or non-parallel connection between the rods that allows for the rods to match the contour of a patients body without requiring bending of the rods. The rod connector may include a first bore hole for receiving the first spinal rod and a second bore hole for receiving the second spinal rod that is adjustable relative to the first bore hole to adjust the position and/or orientation of the second spinal rod relative to the first spinal rod. The rod connector may comprise a first housing component defining the first bore hole and a second housing component that is movable relative to the first housing component and defining the second bore hole. The second housing component includes a coupling rod (381) extending in a direction that is transverse to the second bore hole and the first housing component includes a coupling hole (382) configured to receive the coupling rod. The coupling rod includes a first set of teeth (384) on an outside surface and the coupling hole includes a second set of teeth (385) on an inside surface configured to interlock with the first set of teeth.
