Abstract

A fusion rod (60) adapted to couple between two or more bone gripping devices (30) substantially along an axis (x), the fusion rod comprising at least two elements (62) connected to each other by a connection arrangement having at least one pair of components (68, 70) each associated with one of the elements, the components being a first component (68) and a second component (70) adapted to receive therewithin the first component such that the first component is adapted to move with respect to the second component in two orthogonal directions, each being perpendicular to the axis, to bring one of the elements to a desired position relative to the other element.
