Various multiaxial receivers for receiving at least one tether are disclosed. A multiaxial receiver may include a body having a U-shaped cavity configured to receive a longitudinal rod therein and a lower cavity configured to couple to a pedicle screw. The body may include a first aperture extending through a side surface of the body and defining a first passageway configured to permit a tether to pass therethrough in the horizontal direction. In some embodiments, the body may include a second aperture extending through the side surface of the body and defining a second passageway configured to permit the tether to pass therethrough in the horizontal direction. A set screw may be configured to be rotated from an open position in which the tether is permitted to pass through the first passageway and optionally through the second passageway to a closed position in which the tether is immobilized.

Multiaxial receivers with tether

A spinal construct comprises a fastener including a head. A member includes an inner surface defining a cavity configured for disposal of the head and a groove configured for disposal of a band that is engageable with the head to connect the fastener and the member. The member includes a transverse rod. A coupling member is engageable with the inner surface. Implants, systems, instruments and methods are disclosed.

Spinal construct

A surgical instrument comprises a member being engageable to a spinal implant configured for connection to a bone fastener shaft. An actuator is connected to the member. A latch is connected to the actuator and the connection is configured to change between at least one non-locked orientation such that the actuator is movable relative to the member and a locked orientation such that the actuator is fixed relative to the member. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.

Surgical instrument and method

A method includes providing first and second instruments. First and second fasteners are attached with vertebrae. First fasteners are connected with first and second constructs. Second fasteners are connected with a third and fourth constructs. The first construct is connected with a body of the first instrument and the second construct is connected with another body of the first instrument. The third construct is connected with a body of the second instrument and the fourth construct is connected with another body of the second instrument. Joints of the instruments are tightened. At least one of the instruments is selectively distracted. At least one of the instruments is selectively compressed. The spinal constructs are removed from the fasteners. The first fasteners are connected with a first spinal rod. The second fasteners are connected with a second spinal rod. In some embodiments, spinal constructs, implants, systems and kits are disclosed.

Spinal correction system and method

A surgical instrument having a first member engageable with a first end of a fastener having a second end configured to penetrate tissue. A second member includes an expandable member configured for engaging the first end. Systems and methods are disclosed.

A method of conducting a surgical procedure including implanting an anchor into a bone, wherein the anchor comprises a receiving portion and a screw, the screw including a screw head contained within the receiving portion and pivotally engageable with a surface of the receiving portion, and wherein the receiving portion and the screw comprising a different material. The method further includes selecting a rod from a group of rod types and coupling the rod with the receiving portion to stabilize a position of a portion of the spine.
