- cylindrical shaft section 83 has circular notches 87 arranged circumferentially at a predetermined distance from one another. Adjacent to its free end, the cylindrical shaft section has a hexagonal recess 88 or any other recess for engaging with a screw-in tool.
- the bulwark screw 81 is used, in particular in the case of an external fixator, together with conventional bulwark bolts and conventional connecting elements and fixation rods.
- the bulge screw 81 is screwed into the bone fragment to be fixed in such a way that the elastic section 85 over the bone surface optionally also over the skin surface. surface protrudes.
- a limited movement at a predetermined point is made possible.
- FIG. 8 shows a further development of the bulge screw according to FIGS. 7a and 7b in use in an external fixator for stabilizing tubular bone parts 90, 91 of a broken tubular bone.
- the bulge screw 92 like the polyaxial screw 41 of the third embodiment, has a spherical segment-shaped head (not shown) which is held in a receiving part 93.
- the bone parts 90, 91 are stabilized by means of the bulge screw 92 and conventional polyaxial bone screws 94, which are connected to rods 100, 101 via a connecting element 95.
- a separate cylindrical core is provided, which is inserted into the bore that passes through the elastic section.
- the rigidity of the elastic section can also be adjusted.
- the elastic section has a different diameter than that Bone thread section. With a larger diameter, increased rigidity can be achieved.
- the core can also have a shape other than cylindrical, for example it can have a section with a rectangular cross section, as shown in FIGS. 6b and 6c.
- the invention is not limited to the specifically described examples of the monoaxial and polyaxial bone screw. Other designs of the same, in particular the receiving parts and the fixing devices, may also be possible. It is crucial that the shaft has an elastic section. The invention is also applicable to hooks.
- the elastic section is provided with a tube-like covering, which prevents tissue material or vessels from growing in.
- the stabilization device comprises at least two bone anchoring elements which are each connected to an external device such as a plate or a rod.
- the connection between the bone anchoring elements and the plate or rod is preferably fixed.
- the forces acting on the head of the bone anchoring element when the bones or bone parts move via the external device are decoupled from the anchoring by the elastic shaft, so that the risk of the anchoring in the bone becoming loose is reduced.
- the Stabilizing device can be used in particular to stabilize the spine.
- Body-friendly materials can be used as materials for the bone anchoring element or its components.
- body-friendly metals such as Titanium, or a body-friendly plastic used.
- the use of a shape memory alloy with known super elastic properties, e.g. Nitinol is possible.
- the bone anchoring element as a whole can be formed from such an alloy, including a core in the elastic section, or only the core or only the elastic section can be formed therefrom.
- the use of different materials for different components of the anchoring element is also conceivable.
