Abstract

An apparatus (10) is provided for implantation into a bone (12) in a patient's spine or pelvis. The apparatus (10), when implanted, is resistant to toggling in the bone (12) and to being pulled from the bone. The apparatus (10) comprises a platform (24) having a first surface (38) for facing the bone (12) in a patient's spine or pelvis. The platform (24) includes structure (32, 34, 36) for connection to a spinal fixation implant (100).
