• a detachable member having a cylindrical body, at least one channel contained in said cylindrical body, and at least one passage extending from a first end of said detachable member to a second end of said detachable member;
• and
• a movable member having a head portion, a body portion, and at least one locking feature for latching onto said detachable member with a push motion, a twist motion, or a combination thereof;
• wherein said at least one channel of said detachable member is configured to accommodate said body portion of said movable member;
• wherein said second end of said detachable member is configured for coupling to a collar of a bone fastener assembly;
• and
• wherein said body portion of said movable member is configured to engage said collar of said bone fastener assembly through said detachable member to inhibit translational motion of said collar relative to said detachable member.

A spinal implantation system, comprising:

• at least one spinal stabilization rod;
• two or more bone fastener assemblies for fixing said at least one spinal stabilization rod onto two or more vertebral bodies;
• and
• two or more quick-connect sleeve assemblies for anchoring said two or more bone fastener assemblies onto said two or more vertebral bodies in a minimally invasive procedure, each quick-connect sleeve assembly comprising:
• a detachable member having a cylindrical body, at least one channel contained in said cylindrical body, and at least one passage extending from a first end of said detachable member to a second end of said detachable member;
• and
• a movable member having a head portion, a body portion, and at least one locking feature for latching onto said detachable member with a push motion, a twist motion, or a combination thereof;
• wherein said at least one channel of said detachable member is configured to accommodate said body portion of said movable member;
• wherein said second end of said detachable member is configured for coupling to a collar of a bone fastener assembly;
