This invention relates to interconnection assemblies 10, 110, 174, 246, 300, 310, 330, 360, for use with spinal fixation systems to treat spinal defects. The interconnection assemblies can include various rod connecting members 12, 14, 94, 98, 120, 176, 178, 196, 216, 248, 250, 275, 280, 302, 312, 314, 275, 334, 336, and interconnecting elements 16, 140, 180, 200, 332 to secure the rod connecting members to each other in a variable orientations and lengths. The interconnection assemblies can be adjusted to minimize interference with the spinal column, bony processes and associated neural, muscular and ligament components of the spine all the while exhibiting a low-profile. The interconnecting elements and related components can be provided as a completely assembled unit that does not inadvertently become disassembled prior to or during implantation.

La présente invention concerne des ensembles d'interconnexion (10, 110, 174, 246, 300, 310, 330, 360) conçus pour être utilisés avec des systèmes de fixation vertébrale afin de corriger des anomalies vertébrales. Ces ensembles d'interconnexion peuvent comprendre divers éléments de raccord à tige (12, 14, 94, 98, 120, 176, 178, 196, 216, 248, 250, 275, 280, 302, 312, 314, 275, 334, 336) et divers éléments d'interconnexion (16, 140, 180, 200, 332) pour fixer les éléments de raccord à tige les uns aux autres selon des orientations et des longueurs variables. Ces ensembles d'interconnexion peuvent être ajustés de manière à réduire l'interférence avec la colonne vertébrale, les processus osseux ainsi que les éléments ligamentaires, musculaires et neuraux associés constituant la colonne, le tout présentant un profil bas. Les éléments d'interconnexion et les éléments associés peuvent être utilisés en tant qu'unité complètement assemblée, laquelle ne se désassemble pas avant ou pendant l'implantation.
