RECEIVING PART FOR RECEIVING A ROD FOR COUPLING THE ROD TO A BONE ANCHORING ELEMENT AND A BONE ANCHORING DEVICE WITH SUCH A RECEIVING PART - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032971 titled 'RECEIVING PART FOR RECEIVING A ROD FOR COUPLING THE ROD TO A BONE ANCHORING ELEMENT AND A BONE ANCHORING DEVICE WITH SUCH A RECEIVING PART

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a receiving part for coupling a rod to a bone anchoring element. The receiving part includes a body with a channel for the rod and an accommodation space for the head of the bone anchoring element. The accommodation space has an opening for inserting the head. There is also a pressure element in the accommodation space, which has a recess to receive the rod and a flexible portion to clamp the head. The pressure element can move along the longitudinal axis of the receiving part body to insert, pre-lock, and lock the head in the receiving part.

  • The receiving part is designed to receive a rod and accommodate the head of a bone anchoring element.
  • The pressure element within the receiving part can move along the longitudinal axis to insert and lock the head.
  • The pressure element includes a recess to receive the rod and a flexible portion to clamp the head.
  • The receiving part allows for the secure coupling of the rod to the bone anchoring element.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Orthopedic surgeries involving bone anchoring elements and rods.
  • Spinal fusion procedures.
  • Trauma surgeries requiring bone stabilization.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a secure and adjustable coupling between a rod and a bone anchoring element.
  • Allows for easy insertion and locking of the head of the bone anchoring element.
  • Provides stability and support to the bone structure during surgical procedures.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of coupling a rod to a bone anchoring element.
  • Offers adjustability and flexibility in positioning and securing the rod.
  • Enhances the stability and strength of the bone anchoring system.
  • Reduces the risk of complications or failures during surgical procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

a receiving part for receiving a rod for coupling the rod to a bone anchoring element, the receiving part including: a receiving part body having a channel for receiving a rod and defining an accommodation space for accommodating a head of a bone anchoring element, the accommodation space having an opening for inserting the head; and a pressure element at least partially in the accommodation space, the pressure element including a first portion having a recess to receive the rod, and a second portion having a flexible portion to clamp the head, wherein the pressure element is moveable along a longitudinal axis of the receiving part body from an inserting position to insert the head, to a pre-locking position to clamp the head in the receiving part by a pre-stress exerted by the pressure element, to a locking position to lock the head in the receiving part.
