Summary:An apparatus for use with bone fasteners comprises a first fixation device having a slot configured to receive a bone fastener, and a second fixation device having another slot configured to receive another bone fastener. The first and second fixation devices are interconnected for rotation relative to each other when the bone fasteners are in the slots. Summarized differently, an apparatus for use with bone fasteners comprises a first fixation device having a first pair of openings defining bone fastener locations, and a second fixation device having a second pair of openings defining bone fastener locations. The first and second fixation devices are interconnected for movement relative to each other such that the bone fastener locations defined by the first and second pairs of openings are located at four corners of a rectangular array.
