1. A spinal rod composite comprising:

  • a core component having a diameter and an axial length; and

    a tube having a diameter equal to or less than the diameter of the core component, wherein a vibrational energy is applied between the core and the tube such that the core is received within the tube and the tube is advanced along the axial length of the tube, the spinal rod composite then having facial conformance forces maintaining the tube position along the axial length of the core.
