Abstract

Connector assemblies, systems, and methods thereof. An articulating connector has a first end that clamps to a first rod in an existing construct and a second end, rotatably connected to the first end, that clamps to a second rod in a new construct such that the clamping of the second end to the second rod prevents rotation of the second end with respect to the first end.
