BONE CONNECTOR SYSTEM

摘要

A bone connector system comprises first and second connector members (16, 18). At least one and preferably both of the connector members carries an external bone screw thread (20, 22) to permit securance within a bone. One of the connector members defines a boss of sleeve (30) having an outer end with longitudinal slots (26) extending through the outer end, and a plurality of loops of an external screw thread (32) positioned adjacent to the outer end. The other of the connector members defines a bore having a multiple loop, internal screw thread (34) proportioned to engage the external thread when the connectors are brought together. Either or both of said connector members may define guidewire lumens.
