Abstract
Vertebral osteosynthesis equipment is disclosed, including a connection assembly with a connection piece of open type and a mating component piece positioned one with respect to the other. The connection piece includes a hole, where the mating piece is dimensioned to be engaged in the interior of the hole in a fit adjusted manner and is slidable within the hole. The connection piece is assembled to the mating component piece in separated apart position based on a force that is less than a clamping force exerted by a nut to be screwed on to a proximal threaded pin of an anchoring member that can be tightened so as to bring the connection piece and the mating component piece in a close position.
