Abstract
A spinal fixation system for connecting a spinal vertebra to a rod, including a clamp and screw, the clamp having screw, band and rod channels. The rod channel extends through the clamp forming a passage for a rod, being open towards a lateral side and running approximately perpendicular to the screw channel. The band channel is adjacent to the screw channel and forms a passage for a flexible band. The screw channel has an internal screw thread for engagement with the screw to allow it to be advanced from a first band-locking position into a second rod-locking position. In the first position, the band channel is compressed to inhibit movement of the band with respect to the clamp, while allowing axial movement of the rod within the rod channel. In the second position, the rod channel is restricted to inhibit axial movement of the rod within the rod channel.
