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 55):
The surgical method of  claim 50 , wherein rotating the first body relative to the second body about a rotation axis defined by the hinge pin comprises rotating the first body such that the slot of the hinge pin rotates about the saddle protrusion that extends distally from an edge of the saddle and is aligned with an edge of the second rod-receiving recess.
