ABSTRACT:
A connector for an osteosynthesis system is intended to provide a connection between a rigid correction rod of circular cross section and a transverse connection element of a spinal osteosynthesis system. The connector comprises a hook having a first semicylindrical seat oriented substantially along a first axis to receive the correction rod in a sliding manner. The connector also having a second seat having an axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The second seat opening into the first seat to receive a substantially spherical end of a transverse rod of the transverse connection element. The second seat comprises a tapped hole with an axis oriented substantially perpendicular to the axis of the second seat in order to receive a clamping screw which will exert pressure on the spherical end of the transverse rod, the spherical end coming to bear on the correction rod.
