Abstract: A spinal fixation system includes a plurality of anchor screw assemblies, e.g. including anchor screws and clamp assemblies defining rod passages therethrough. A rod is receivable in the rod passages between the anchor screw assemblies, and a spacer is securable on the rod. The rod is preferably serrated over less than about 25% of the peripheral surface thereof, and the clamp assemblies preferably include engagement surfaces that include similarly spaced and oriented serrations. During use, a first anchor screw is screwed into a first vertebra, and a second anchor screw is screwed into a second vertebra adjacent the first vertebra, and clamp assemblies are mounted to each anchor screw. A rod is secured between the anchor screw assemblies, thereby fixing a relative spacing of the first and second vertebrae. A spacer may be crimped onto the exposed portion of the rod between the anchor screw assemblies, the spacer extending between the anchor screw assemblies to prevent the anchor screw assemblies, and, consequently, the first and second vertebrae, from moving towards one another.

Abstract: An anchor screw assembly includes a screw having a threaded portion and a head portion to which a swing bolt is pivotally coupled. A clamp assembly includes lower and upper clamp portions assembled into connecting beams that are securable on the swing bolt by a fastener. The clamp portions include first passages for receiving an intermediate region of the swing bolt therethrough to receivably retain the clamp assembly on the connecting beam and on the swing bolt. The head portion of the screw includes a shoulder, and the lower clamp portion has a seat that frictionally engages the shoulder when the clamp assembly is fully secured on the connecting beam and swing bolt, thereby securing the swing bolt relative to the screw. Multiple screw assemblies are screwed into adjacent vertebrae, and a connecting member is secured by the clamp assemblies between the anchor screw assemblies to stabilize the vertebrae. An optional cross-brace member interconnects two or more connecting members.
