Transconector for attaching first and second longitudinal spinal rods

摘要

"Transconector for attaching first and second longitudinal spinal rods. It is revealed transconector attachment (10) for attaching a first longitudinal spinal rod to a second bar spinal longitudinal.The transconector attachment generally includes a pair of members of the coupling hook (50) to pick up the longitudinal spinal rods, a side bar (20) to implement a distance between the states of m in the coupling hook (50), and a locking element (100) that connects the members of The coupling hook (50) with the bar.The locking element (100) being configured to allow multiple degrees of adjustment to allow the transconector links (100) to accommodate the alignment rod spinal variables.The locking elements (100) also allow the positioning of the side bar (20) to be fixed in relation to the members of the coupling hook (50) where it has been ever attained the desired position of the side bar (20) with respect to the longitudinal spinal rods.The locking element (100) can also be able to fix the position of the side bar (20) with respect to the members of the coupling hook (50) by means of a force applied to the locking element (50).
