A coupling member (34) with at least one portion made of a shape memory material having a transformation temperature range is used to couple the body part to the bone anchor. The coupling member (24) is movable through the opening (27) and in and out of the cavity (29) at temperatures below the transformation temperature range. With it in the cavity (29) and at temperatures above the transformation temperature range, the coupling member (34) is locked within the bone anchor (26).
