The opening 826 may be configured to receive the tether locking feature 832 within the opening 826 and retain the tether locking feature 832 within the opening 826. In one embodiment, the tether locking feature 832 and/or the opening 826 may be configured to engage with each other such that the tether locking feature 832 can sit within the opening 826 of a cylindrical body 822. For example, the tether locking feature 832 and opening 826 may each have a polygon cross section sized for a slip fit between the tether locking feature 832 and the opening 826. In certain embodiments, the tether locking feature 832 and opening 826 of the body 822 may cooperate to implement a line-lock device. Alternatively, or in addition, the tether locking feature 832 alone may implement the line-lock device. The tether locking feature 832 is configured to couple a proximal end of the tether 840 to the bone anchor 820.
