Methods, systems, devices and tools for placing bone stabilization components in a patient are provided. The systems and devices have a reduced number of discrete components that allow placement through small incisions and tubes. More particularly, the present invention is directed to screws for use in systems and methods of treating the spine, which eliminate pain and enable spinal motion, which effectively mimics that of a normally functioning spine. Methods are also provided for installation of the screw and other subject systems.

1. A method, comprising: providing a system comprising: a seat having a first end and a second end, at least one sidewall extending between the first end and the second end, at least one rod channel formed in the sidewall and a top opening at the first end;a coupler retained inside the seat; the coupler having a rod receiving portion and a screw receiving portion; anda bone screw retained inside the screw receiving portion of the coupler;delivering the system into a patient;inserting the bone screw into a bone of the patient;providing a rod having a first end and a second end;delivering the rod into the patient;pivotally connecting the first end of the rod to the rod receiving portion of the coupler following delivery of the rod into the patient;pivoting the rod into position;providing a closure mechanism; anddelivering the closure mechanism into the patient to close the top opening of the seat. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of pivoting the rod into position includes the step of disposing at least a portion of the rod inside the rod channel. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of pivoting the rod into position includes pivoting the rod about its first end relative to the rod receiving portion. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first end of the rod comprises a flanged portion, and wherein pivotally coupling the first end of the rod to the rod receiving portion of the coupler comprises disposing the flanged portion into the rod receiving portion of the coupler. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first end of the rod comprises pin/socket, wherein the rod receiving portion of the coupler comprises a complementary socket/pin, and wherein pivotally coupling the first end of the rod to the rod receiving portion of the coupler comprises coupling the pin/socket of the first end into the complementary socket/pin of the rod receiving portion of the coupler. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein pivotally coupling the first end of the rod into the rod receiving portion of the coupler comprises providing the rod in a substantially vertical position substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the seat, andwherein pivoting the rod into a deployed position comprises rotating the rod about the first end into a substantially horizontal position such that a portion of the rod extends through the rod channel formed in the sidewall. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein delivering the closure mechanism into the patient to close the top opening of the seat comprises disposing the closure mechanism above the first end of the rod such that the rod is substantially inhibited from pivoting into a substantially vertical orientation parallel to a longitudinal axis of the seat. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the closure mechanism comprises a closure mechanism body and a set screw, wherein disposing the closure mechanism into the top opening to secure the rod in the deployed position comprises: coupling the closure mechanism body to the top opening; andadvancing the set screw. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein delivering the closure mechanism into the patient to close the top opening of the seat is configured to compress the screw receiving portion about at least a portion of the bone screw to substantially fix a position of the bone screw relative to the seat. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein delivering the closure mechanism into the patient to close the top opening of the seat is configured to substantially fix a position of the rod relative to the seat. 11. A method, comprising: providing a seat, comprising: a lower body portion comprising a lower opening substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the seat and extending longitudinally through the lower body portion, wherein the lower opening is configured to receive a bone screw therethrough, and wherein the lower body portion comprises a bone screw receiving portion; andan upper body portion comprising at least one sidewall extending upward from the lower body portion, wherein the sidewall defines an upper opening extending longitudinally into the upper body which defines a coupler receiving portion and a cap receiving portion, and wherein the upper opening and the lower opening are connected such that a longitudinal opening is provided through a length of the seat; andat least one rod channel formed in the sidewall, wherein the rod channel comprises a slot extending into the sidewall from an upper edge of the sidewall of the upper body portion;inserting at least a portion of a bone screw through at least a portion of the upper opening and the lower opening such that at least a portion of the bone screw is retained by the bone screw receiving portion;inserting at least a portion of a coupler into the upper body after implanting the bone screw into bony structure of a patient, wherein the coupler comprises a bone screw receiving portion and a rod receiving portion;coupling a distal portion of an instrument to the seat;implanting the bone screw into bony structure of a patient;pivotally coupling a first end of a rod into the rod receiving portion of the coupler;pivoting the rod into a deployed position such that a portion of the rod extends into the rod channel formed in the sidewall; anddisposing a cap into the cap receiving portion to secure the rod in the deployed position. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the bone screw and coupler are inserted into the seat prior to implanting the bone screw into bony structure of a patient such that the seat and coupler are implanted with the bone screw. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the sidewall of the seat comprises a flange, and wherein coupling the distal portion of the instrument to the seat comprises coupling the distal portion of the instrument to the flange. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the first end of the rod comprises a flanged portion, and wherein pivotally coupling the first end of the rod to the rod receiving portion of the coupler comprises disposing the flanged portion into the rod receiving portion of the coupler. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the first end of the rod comprises pin/socket, wherein the rod receiving portion of the coupler comprises a complementary socket/pin, and wherein pivotally coupling the first end of the rod to the rod receiving portion of the coupler comprises coupling the pin/socket of the first end into the complementary socket/pin of the rod receiving portion of the coupler. 16. The method of claim 11, wherein pivotally coupling the first end of the rod into the rod receiving portion of the coupler comprises providing the rod in a substantially vertical position substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the seat, andwherein pivoting the rod into a deployed position comprises rotating the rod about the first end into a substantially horizontal position such that a portion of the rod extends through the rod channel formed in the sidewall. 17. The method of claim 11, wherein disposing the cap into the cap receiving portion to secure the rod in the deployed position, comprises disposing the cap above the first end of the rod in an upper portion of the upper opening such that the rod is substantially inhibited from pivoting into a substantially vertical orientation parallel to a longitudinal axis of the seat. 18. The method of claim 11, wherein the cap comprises a cap body and a set screw, wherein disposing the cap into the cap receiving portion to secure the rod in the deployed position comprises: coupling the cap body to the cap receiving portion of the upper body portion; andadvancing the set screw. 19. The method of claim 11, wherein disposing the cap into the cap receiving portion is configured to compress the bone screw receiving portion about at least a portion of the bone screw to substantially fix a position of the bone screw relative to the seat. 20. The method of claim 11, wherein disposing the cap into the cap receiving portion is configured to substantially fix a position of the rod relative to the seat.
