Abstract

An artificial facet joint includes a spinal implant rod (30) and a connector (14) and a connector (14) includes a screw and a rod connecting member (18) having structure for engagement of the rod (30). The rod connecting member (18) is pivotally engaged to the screw (40). The rod (30) may also be held slideably within the connector (14) enabling the rod (30) to be moved relative to the connector (14).
