Abstract
A modular bone anchor system includes a plurality of bone anchors, with each bone anchor comprising a capture portion at a proximal end, an anchor portion at a distal end, and a neck portion integral with the capture portion and the anchor portion. The system also includes a plurality of pivoting and non-pivoting receiver sub-assemblies, with each receiver sub-assembly including a receiver having a channel for receiving a rod and a central bore that extends upwardly from a bottom opening through the channel to a top of the receiver, and either a capture portion-engaging retainer or a rod-engaging insert positioned within the central bore. The capture portion of each bone anchor has a single predetermined size and shape that is common with the other bone anchors and is configured for uploading into either the pivoting or non-pivoting receiver sub-assemblies through the bottom opening of the receiver.
