Abstract:
Articulating implant connectors and related methods are disclosed herein. Exemplary connectors can include first and second bodies that are rotatable relative to one another about a rotation axis and selectively lockable to resist or prevent such rotation. Each of the bodies can be configured to couple to a rod or other fixation component, and the connector can be used to lock first and second rods together even when the rods are obliquely angled with respect to one another.

Claim (Index 39):
The connector of  claim 35  wherein the saddle protrusion has a wedge-shaped cross section that applies a force against the angled cam surface of the slot of the hinge pin to lock the hinge pin in place when the second fastener secures the second rod within the second rod-receiving recess.
