Surgical connectors for attaching an elongated member to a bone

The present application is directed to connectors for attaching an elongated member to a bone. The connectors may include a receiver that is attached to an anchor. The receiver may include a base and outwardly-extending arms that form a channel to receive the elongated member. The base may include an opening that extends into a receptacle. The opening may include a first section in an inferior side of the receiver, and a cut-out in a lateral side. During attachment, the anchor may be positioned relative to the receiver such that a head of the anchor may be inserted into the first section and a shaft of the anchor may be inserted into a second section. After insertion, the anchor is rotated to move the shaft out of the cut-out while the head remains in the receptacle. A wedge is then attached to the receiver over the cut-out to prevent the anchor from escaping.
