A spinal fixation and fusion assembly includes a bone anchoring member, a cylindrical rod and a cap. The bone anchoring member comprises an elongated body that is made entirely of bone type material. The elongated body includes a main shaft, a conical shaped distal end, a flared out proximal end, and a through-opening extending along an axis from the proximal end to the distal end. The cylindrical rod is shaped and dimensioned to be received within the through-opening and is made entirely of metal. The cap is made entirely of metal and is attached to a proximal end of the cylindrical rod.
