1. A bone anchor comprising:
a bone fastener including a head and a shank;
a connecting arm including a central bore extending along a longitudinal axis and a central cavity to hold the head of the bone fastener with the shank extending through a distal portion of the central bore, wherein at least a portion of the bone fastener enters a first end of the connecting arm and exits a second opposite end of the connecting arm via the central bore; and
a saddle defining a bore that extends along the longitudinal axis and a cavity that is configured to receive the head of the bone fastener upon assembly with the connecting arm, the bore being configured to allow for engagement with the head of the shank, the saddle coupled at a distal end portion to the connecting arm via a coupling enabling movement about the longitudinal axis of the saddle relative to the connecting arm.
