Abstract
Abstract An anchoring screw (1) is disclosed for implantation in bone, consisting of a tissue compatible material for supporting prostheses, artificial joint components, or the like. The anchoring screw (1) has at least one slot (5, 5a) extending from its threaded outer surface at a distance from the insertion end (3). The slot (5, 5a) is arranged to receive a blanking element (6, 6a) which shields the slot (5, 5a) during the application of the anchoring screw (1) and its integration in a recess prepared beforehand in the bone during a healing stage. The blanking element (6, 6a) is replaced, after integration of the anchoring screw (1) with the bone, by a holder for a prosthesis, the holder including a web portion insertable into said slot. There is also disclosed an anchoring arrangement comprising at least one such anchoring screw and such a holder or coupling, and a method for application of such an anchoring arrangement in osseous tissue.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A substantially rotationally symmetrical anchoring element intended for implantation in tissue for supporting prostheses or artificial joint components, the anchoring element being comprised of a tissue compatible material, the anchoring element having a peripheral surface which is provided with an external thread, the anchoring element having an insertion end which is the leading end thereof during insertion in tissue, the insertion end being for the attachment of the anchoring element to tissue, the anchoring element having an opposite application end from which prostheses or artificial joint components are attachable to the anchoring element, the anchoring element having a slot defined therein extending radially into the element from one side and only extending partially across the anchoring element and the slot extending substantially axially along a major portion of the axial length of the anchoring element from the application end thereof and ending at a distance from the insertion end, the slot being arranged to receive the prosthesis or artificial joint component.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
The anchoring element of claim 1, further comprising an emplaceable end releasable blanking element engaged in the slot to shield the slot during the application of the anchoring element into a recess prepared in the tissue and during subsequent healing of the tissue around the anchoring element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The anchoring element of claim 1, in which the slot comprises a track milled in the anchoring element to thereby include lateral edge surfaces of the slot which are adapted for releasable retention of a blanking member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
