A spinal stabilization system may be formed in a patient. In some embodiments, a minimally invasive procedure may be used to form a spinal stabilization system in a patient Bone fastener assemblies may be coupled to vertebrae Each bone fastener assembly may include a bone fastener and a collar. The collar may be rotated and/or angulated relative to the bone fastener. Detachable members may be coupled to the collar to allow for formation of the spinal stabilization system through a small skin incision. The detachable members may allow for alignment of the collars to facilitate insertion of an elongated member in the collars. An elongated member may be positioned in the collars and a closure member may be used to secure the elongated member to the collars.

The system of claim 1, wherein: said first coupling system configured to provide a detachable mechanical coupling between an inner surface of the first collar and an outer surface of the first sleeve; andsaid second coupling system configured to provide a detachable mechanical coupling between an inner surface of the second collar and an outer surface of the second sleeve. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein: said first coupling system configured to provide a detachable mechanical coupling between an outer surface of the first collar and an inner surface of the first sleeve; andsaid second coupling system configured to provide a detachable mechanical coupling between an outer surface of the second collar and an inner surface of the second sleeve. 18. A system for performing spine surgery, said system comprising: a rod, said rod having a width;a first bone screw configured to be screwed into a first vertebra;a first collar coupled to the first bone screw, said first collar comprising a first slot sized to receive the rod;a first sleeve comprising a first passage, said first passage extending longitudinally within the first sleeve, said first passage being sized to permit the passage of a tool;a first mechanical coupling system for coupling the first collar to the first sleeve, the first coupling system being at least partially defined by a portion of the first collar that engages the first sleeve above the rod when the rod is located at a bottom of the first slot; anda first closure member configured to be secured to the first collar via the tool to directly push against the rod within the first slot below the first mechanical coupling system. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein the portion of the first collar is configured to shear off above the rod and the first closure member when the rod is seated within the first slot. 20. The system of claim 18, wherein the portion of the first collar that engages the first sleeve above the rod comprises an extension from the first collar to engage the first sleeve. 21. The system of claim 20, wherein the extension includes internal threads. 22. A system for performing spine surgery, said system comprising: a first bone screw configured to be screwed into a first vertebra;a first collar coupled to the first bone screw, said first collar comprising: a first pair of opposing arms;a first slot disposed between the first pair of opposing arms; anda first pair of opposing sections extending from the first pair of opposing arms, wherein the first pair of opposing sections include internal threading;a first sleeve comprising: a first longitudinally extending body extending from a first end to a second end;a first passage extending within the longitudinally extending sleeve body; anda first portion of the body configured to engage the first pair of opposing sections of the first collar;a rod having a width sized to fit within the first slot; anda first closure member configured to be secured to the first collar below the first pair of opposing sections to secure the rod within the first slot such that the first closure member is located between the rod and the first pair of opposing sections. 23.
