Abstract:
A rod reducer includes a housing, an anvil, a locking anvil configured to engage a locking plug of a bone screw assembly, an arm assembly, a reducing screw extending through the housing and rotatably coupled with the anvil, and a locking screw extending through the housing and rotatably coupled with the locking anvil. The arm assembly includes an arm hingedly coupled to the housing, and first and second grasping members configured to engage the bone screw assembly. The first and second grasping members are hingedly coupled to the housing and extend through the anvil. Rotation of the reducing screw transitions the arm assembly between an open position, in which, distal portions of the arm and the first and second grasping members are radially expanded, and a closed position, in which, the distal portions of the arm and the first and second grasping members are radially contracted.

Claim (Index 15):
The method according to  claim 14 , wherein rotating the reducing screw of the rod reducer includes engaging the arm of the rod reducer with the rod receiving portion of the bone screw.
