Abstract:
The invention relates to a spinal fixation system containing a rod positioned contiguous to and spanning a length of the spine. The rod is held in place by a bone screw that has a double offset at the proximal end, which is connected to a clamping mechanism. The bone screw is secured to the bone and the rod is secured in the clamping mechanism, whereby the clamping mechanism of the new double offset bone screw can be easily moved to accommodate the location of the rod.
