Abstract
A receiver assembly for capturing an elongate rod in a receiver of a bone anchor includes the receiver, a first threaded closure, and a second threaded closure. The receiver includes an upper portion that defines a first channel, interior surfaces that have helically wound thread, and a lower pressure insert that can be positioned within the first channel and has upright arms. Each of the first threaded closure and the second threaded closure have a cylindrical body with an external surface having continuous helically wound thread that can rotatably mate with the helically wound receiver thread. The first threaded closure and the second threaded closure are interchangeable for different locking configurations in the receiver assembly. The first threaded closure has a downward protrusion that can compressively engage the elongate rod. The second threaded closure has a bottom surface that can compressively engage the upright arms of the lower pressure insert.
