Patent attributes
Disclosed spinal implants may include a rod extending in a horizontal direction and a first implant receiver having a first passageway extending in the horizontal direction and a first threaded passageway extending in a vertical direction, for example. Additionally, the implant may include a second implant receiver having a second passageway extending in the horizontal direction and a second threaded passageway extending in the vertical direction, for example. The implant may include a first set screw having a size and shape corresponding to a size and shape of the first threaded passageway and a second set screw having a size and shape corresponding to a size and shape of the second threaded passageway, for example. In some embodiments, the rod may extend in the horizontal direction through the first and second passageways and may be constrained from moving in the vertical direction by the first and second passageways, for example.
