[0002] Currently, spinal surgery methods are constantly evolving, and various spinal internal fixation devices have emerged. The popular posterior fixation system has seen rapid development and application due to its advantages such as simple surgical procedures. When using this system, with the injured vertebra as the center, pedicle screws are inserted forward (or in other corresponding positions and directions) at the root of the transverse process of the upper and lower vertebrae, at the intersection of the midpoint and the facet joint, to an appropriate depth. Then, a corrective rod or corrective plate is installed at the end of the pedicle screw along the direction of the spine.

[0003] After installation, the corrective rod needs to be positioned and connected to the pedicle screw. However, most existing positioning structures use screws to position and connect the corrective rod. After long-term use, the screws are prone to displacement, affecting the positioning effect. Therefore, a minimally invasive long tail spinal internal fixation system is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

An arc-shaped connecting seat 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the extension seat 4, and there are two arc-shaped connecting seats 8, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the inside of the extension seat 4. A threaded groove is provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped connecting seat 8 on the side away from the extension seat 4 near the top of the extension seat 4. A threaded rod 9 is installed in the middle of the arc-shaped connecting seat 8, and the threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to the arc-shaped connecting seat 8. The threaded rod 9 passes through the arc-shaped connecting seat 8, and a nut 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 9. The outer wall of the nut 10 contacts the inner wall of the extension seat 4, and a hexagonal groove 11 is opened in the middle of the top of the nut 10. An installation groove 12 is opened in the middle of the threaded rod 9, and a connecting slide groove 16 is opened on the inner wall of the installation groove 12.
