Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a rod and a corresponding rod inserter. The rod has an elongated body with a removable end configured for an insertion tool engagement. The removable end of the rod has a part that can be securely attached to a rod holder of a rod inserter ex situ prior to minimally invasive rod insertion. A breakable portion is located between the part and the elongated body. The part can be broken off from the rod in situ to release the rod inserter. The broken off part of the rod is removed with the rod inserter and separated from the rod inserter ex situ.
