    摘要: A bone anchoring device includes an anchoring element having a shaft and a head, a receiving part having a coaxial bore and a seat for receiving the head, a pressure element configured to be movable within the bore, and a preload element being positionable between the head and the pressure element. When the head is inserted in the receiving part, the head is pivotable with respect to the receiving part, and can be locked at an angle relative to the receiving part by the pressure element. The pressure element can assume a position relative to the receiving part where the pressure element and the preload element are in direct contact, and where the pressure element exerts a force onto the head via the preload element to maintain one of a plurality of releasable angular positions between the head and the receiving part by friction before locking the head.

    摘要: A coupling device includes a receiving part with an accommodation space for accommodating a head of a bone anchoring element, an opening, and a recess forming two legs for receiving a rod, and a pressure member arranged at least partially in the accommodation space. The pressure member is adjustable from a first configuration where a topmost end of the pressure member is at a first axial position and the head is pivotable in the accommodation space to a second configuration where the topmost end of the pressure member is at a second axial position below the first axial position and the pressure member provisionally lock the heads. At the second configuration, a latching connection is formed to prevent the pressure member from being adjusted back towards the first configuration. The latching connection is releasable to adjust the pressure member from the second configuration back towards the first configuration.

    摘要: A coupling assembly for coupling a rod to a bone anchoring element is provided, wherein the coupling assembly includes a receiving part having a first end, a second end, a central axis extending through the first end and second end, an accommodation space for accommodating a head of an anchoring element, a bore extending from the accommodation space to the first end, and a recess for receiving a rod. The accommodation space has an opening at the second end sized to permit insertion of a head of the bone anchoring element. The coupling assembly further includes a retainer element configured to be positioned at least partially in the accommodation space and being radially expandable and/or compressible to allow retaining a head inserted through the opening. The retainer element is held in position adjacent the opening by an engagement structure provided at or in the accommodation space. The coupling assembly further includes a locking element configured to be arranged at least partially in the accommodation space. The locking element is movable from a first position, in which the retainer element is allowed to expand acid release an inserted head, to a second position, in which radial expansion of the retainer element is hindered to present release of an inserted head. When the locking element is in the second position, a head of an liming element can be locked by exertion of a pressure force directly onto the head to press the head against the retainer element.

    摘要: A coupling device for use with a bone anchoring element includes a receiving part having first and second ends, a longitudinal axis, and a coaxial passage, and a pressure member having a first portion and an expandable portion connected axially to the first portion forming a seat for the head. The pressure member is movable to a position where the receiving part acts on the expandable portion to clamp the head in the seat. The seat can be asymmetric relative to the longitudinal axis while a central axis of the first portion is coaxial with the longitudinal axis, such that the seat facilitates pivoting of the bone anchoring element in a first direction to a first maximum angle and in an opposite direction to a second maximum angle smaller than the first maximum angle.
