Abstract
A pair of bone attachment devices and a crosslink device for a spinal fixation system or other implant arrangement is provided that extends between and engages the bone attachment devices with engaging members. The bone attachment devices include a receiver portion and the crosslink device includes a pair of elongated bridging members each having a pivotally attached connector for connecting to the bone attachment devices at various planar elevations. An interconnection device situated between the connectors receives the members and allows translational and rotational adjustment of the members relative to one another.
