摘要: Implementations of the present disclosure provide a snap fit rod and fastener system including one or more fasteners for securing rods to secure spine other anatomical structure. The include fixation shaft, clamp connector. shaft (for example pedicle screw) is configured frictionally engage bone (vertebra) workpiece. has pressure responsive portion that defines an opening receive rod. connector connect exert on modify A bias mechanism, such as washer spring may be included urge against which can overcome by “snap fit” effect. For additional adjustability, pivotally mounted shaft.
