Bone fastener assembly

A bone fastener assembly for connecting a bone to a stabilizing construct, comprising:

• a rod holder having a first passage extending along a first axis from a proximal opening to a distal opening, the passage partially defined by a first surface;
• a fastener seat having a second passage extending along a second axis from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end at least partially defined by a second surface configured to mate with the first surface;
• and
• a bone fastener having a shank for engaging the bone, and a head, the shank defining a fastener axis, the fastener seat and the bone fastener being insertable within the rod holder, the fastener seat being movable along the first surface from a first position in which the second axis is transverse to the first axis after the fastener seat and bone fastener are inserted into the rod holder, to a second position in which the second axis is parallel to the first axis, and the fastener seat engages the bone fastener and retains the bone fastener in the rod holder.
