1. A method of implanting a spinal corrective system, the comprising:
loading a first elongated movable member into a first elongated detachable member through at least one channel formed internal to at least a portion of a sidewall of a cylindrical body of the first elongated detachable member;
coupling the first elongated detachable member to a first collar of a first bone fastener assembly, the first collar being configured to receive an elongated member for correction of a portion of a spine;
coupling the first elongated movable member to the first elongated detachable member causing at least one distal end of the first elongated movable member to engage the first collar of the first bone fastener assembly to inhibit translational motion of the first collar relative to the first elongated detachable member; and
fastening the first bone fastener assembly onto a first vertebral body of the spine.
