Abstract
A rod reduction device includes a rod reducing member, an anchoring member, and a sleeve. The rod reducing member is configured to engage a spinal rod. The anchoring member is configured to removably attach to a bone anchor. The sleeve defines a longitudinal axis and is operably associated with the rod reducing member and the anchoring member. The sleeve is rotatable with respect to the anchoring member for longitudinally translating the rod reducing member relative to the anchoring member.
