Befestigungselement für die Osteosynthese

摘要

The invention concerns a securing element for osteosynthesis, preferably for anchoring a bone implant. The securing element comprises a receiving member which can be inserted into a bore and an expanding member. The receiving member can be radially expanded by a wedge effect by driving in the expanding member in a longitudinal bore provided in the receiving member or an opening comprising a peripheral wall. The receiving member (1) which is divided in the longitudinal direction comprises at least two partial elements (2, 3) which are separate or movably connected to each other. When the expanding member is driven in, the partial elements (2, 3) are uniformly expanded substantially over their entire lengths.
