Abstract
A connecting element is created for connecting two rods () or screws used for bone or vertebra stabilisation. The connecting element has a connecting part (), a first part connectable to one of the rods and a second part connectable to the other rod. The connecting part is adjustable in length in the direction of the connecting axis of the first part and the second part and can therefore be adapted to different rod distances.
