Spinal implant system and method

A method for treating a spine, the method comprising the steps of:

• fixing an anchor extending between a proximal end and a distal end with tissue;
• disposing the anchor with a longitudinal passageway of a dilator being connected with a navigation component such that the distal end is disposable with the passageway at a selected distance from the navigation component;
• positioning the navigation component relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of an orientation of the anchor;
• and
• mounting a drill guide with the anchor along the orientation such that a distal end of the drill guide is engageable with the tissue.

• connecting an anchor tool with the anchor to adjust a depth of the anchor relative to tissue and the navigation component.
