Abstract

A connector assembly includes a coupling body for securing an elongate member to an implant engaged to the spinal column. The elongate member is offset to one side of and transversely oriented to the implant. The coupling body includes a first passage for receiving the implant and a second passage for receiving the elongate member and a clamping member positioned about the elongate member. The coupling assembly also includes an engaging member that engages the coupling body and contacts the clamping member to clampingly engage the elongate member with the clamping member while manipulating the coupling body positioned about the implant to engage the coupling body to the implant.
