A bone anchoring device includes an anchoring element having a shank to be anchored in a bone or a vertebra and a receiving part connected to the shank, and a rod for connecting at least two anchoring elements, the rod having at least a tubular portion. The receiving part comprises a recess for receiving said rod. The bone anchoring element also includes a locking element cooperating with the receiving part to secure the rod in the recess, a filling piece being arranged between the locking element and the rod for exerting pressure onto the rod to lock the rod in the recess. The filling piece includes a rod contacting surface which contacts a portion of said rod. The shape of the rod contacting surface is adapted to the shape of the portion of the rod.

A device for inserting an intervertebral implant into a body includes a flexible end portion having a free end, a thickened portion including an outward protrusion on the flexible end portion at or adjacent the free end, and a stop including an outward protrusion on the flexible end portion positioned at a distance from the free end and spaced apart from the thickened portion, wherein a portion of the flexible end portion between the thickened portion and the stop has outer walls separated by a distance that is less than distances separating outer walls of the thickened end portion and the stop, respectively, and wherein the flexible end portion can assume a first state wherein the outer walls of the portion of the flexible end portion between the thickened portion and the stop are separated by a first distance.
摘要:
A bone anchoring element comprising a shaft (2) for anchoring in a bone, with a plurality of barb elements (7) arranged in at least one helical line around the shaft axis (M) is described, wherein said barb elements are elastically movable relative to the shaft. The bone anchoring element (1) is easy to press into a core hole bore in a bone. The barb elements (7) act in a similar manner as do the threads on a conventional bone screw and thus provide for depth positioning. Moreover, the barb elements at the same time secure the bone anchoring element and prevent it from sliding-out.

A locking assembly for securing a rod in a receiving part of a bone anchoring device includes a first locking element having a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis of rotation and an outer surface provided with an external thread, a coaxial bore passing entirely through said first locking element and an internal thread provided at said bore, a second locking element having a longitudinal axis of rotation and an outer surface with an external thread cooperating with the internal thread of said first locking element. The first locking element has a recess between the first end and the second end, that defines a circumferentially closed wall portion. The interior of the wall portion has a longitudinally extending structure for engagement with a tool. Furthermore, a tool is provided which has sections which can be independently engaged with the first and second locking element, respectively.

A rod-shaped implant for the dynamic stabilization of the spine includes at least a portion having a flexible first material forming a matrix in which a flexible structure having at least one fiber made of a second material is embedded. The rod-shaped implant can be compressed and extended along the longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped implant while it provides a high torsional stiffness.

A bone anchoring device includes a bone anchoring element having a shaft and a head; and a receiving part for coupling a rod to the bone anchoring element. The receiving part includes a first portion with a U-shaped recess for receiving the rod, and a second portion for accommodating the head, the second portion having a free end and being flexible so as to allow introduction and clamping of the head. The bone anchoring device also includes a locking ring embracing the second portion. The head is locked by means of exerting pressure with the rod onto the locking ring resulting in compression of the second portion of the receiving part and wherein the locking ring is mounted to the receiving part from the free end of the second portion.

A fixation device for bones includes a member which is to be fixed to one or more bones and has at least one bore for receiving a bone screw, wherein the at least one bore comprises a first internal thread portion. The bone screw has a first shaft section provided with a first external thread portion arranged to cooperate with the internal thread portion of the at least one bore, and a head section having a diameter larger than that of the shaft section to provide a catch arranged to engage with a stop formed in the bore. The bone screw further has a second shaft section which includes a clearance groove extending between the catch of the head section and the external thread of the first shaft section. The clearance groove allows disengagement of the two thread portions, such that the bone screw is prevented from being unscrewed off the bore when it is loosened within the adjacent bone. The member can also include a side wall of a cage used in an intervertebral implant device, or can represent a plate of a bone plate assembly.
