Disclosed are laminoplasty devices and systems, kits that include such laminoplasty devices or systems or components thereof; and methods of assembling and using such laminoplasty devices and systems. In particular, articulating laminoplasty devices are provided that allow lamina plates to be adjusted angularly and transitionally with respect to a cage connecting the lamina plates. Also provided are laminoplasty plates that are configured so as to be assembled with a bone graft housing, and which provide an opening configured to facilitate bone graft insertion into the housing. Further provided are expandable laminoplasty fixation systems that include a lateral mass plate, a lamina plate and a set screw that when screwed and unscrewed, allows one to contract and expand the plates with respect to one another.

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 having a second end that clamps to a second rod in a new construct or such that the new construct can be extended from the existing construct. In the case of different sized constructs used in different areas of the spine, an articulating connector has a first end that clamps to a first rod in a new construct having rods of a first size and a second end having a second end that clamps to a second rod in a new construct having rods of a second size. The clamping portions are capable of translating and rotating with respect to each other.
