<p>This invention is an anchor (14) having a hollow shank (20) with an outer threaded surface (16) for securely fixing to a bone (18) and a threaded interior surface (22) for cooperatively receiving a screw (24). The anchor (14) cooperates with the screw (24) that engages the interior surface (22) of the shank (20) to form an assembly for holding an element (12) in place to support and strengthen the bone (18). A method for using the device includes forming a cavity in the bone (18); fixing the anchor (14); placing the element (12) over the anchor (14); and fixedly attaching the plate (12) by engaging the screw (24) through the element (12) and into the anchor (14).</p> |
