BONE BOLT ASSEMBLY FOR ATTACHING SUPPORTING IMPLANTS TO BONES, FOR HOLDING MULTIPLE BONES IN RELATIVE POSITIONS, AND FOR HOLDING TOGETHER FRACTURED BONE FRAGMENTS

摘要

A bone bolt assembly is designed for attaching supporting implants between adjacent bones, for holding adjacent bones relative to each other, and for holding together fractured bone fragments. The functions performed by the bone bolt assembly are achieved without the use of bone screws that are implanted into the bone.
