Abstract
An assembly for correcting spinal deformities may include at least lateral rods extending across adjacent vertebrae to be retained at either end by pedicle screws. A cross-coupler may be coupled to each lateral rod, and a longitudinal rod may run along the spine and be coupled to the lateral rods by the cross-couplers. The assembly may be used to correct spinal deformities by manipulating the pedicle screws or cross-couplers to rotate about the lateral rods or the longitudinal rod.
