Abstract
An anchor extender can be couplable to a bone anchor and can include an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and a lock. The lock can be operable to translate the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve between a locked position and an unlocked position to secure the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve to a head of the bone anchor in the locked position and to release the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve from the head of the bone anchor in the unlocked position.
