Definitions
- the present invention is directed to polyaxial bone screws for use in bone surgery, particularly spinal surgery.
- Such screws have a receiver or head that can swivel about a shank of the bone screw, allowing the receiver to be positioned in any of a number of angular configurations relative to the shank.
- elongate members such as solid rigid rods or more flexible elongate members are often utilized that extend along the spine to provide support to vertebrae that have been damaged or weakened due to injury or disease.
- Such elongate members must be supported by certain vertebrae and support other vertebrae. .
- Bone screws of this type may have a fixed head or receiver relative to a shank thereof.
- the head cannot be moved relative to the shank and the rod must be favorably positioned in order for it to be placed within the head. This is sometimes very difficult or impossible to do. Therefore, polyaxial bone screws are commonly preferred.
- Polyaxial bone screws allow rotation of the receiver about the shank until a desired rotational position of the receiver is achieved relative to the shank. Thereafter, a rod can be inserted into the receiver and eventually the receiver is locked or fixed in a particular position relative to the shank.
- a variety of polyaxial or swivel-head bone screw assemblies are available.
- One type of bone screw assembly includes an open head or receiver that allows for placement of a rod within the receiver. A closure top or plug is then used to capture the rod in the receiver of the screw.
- a polyaxial bone screw assembly of the present invention includes a shank having a generally elongate body with an upper end portion and a lower threaded portion for fixation to a bone.
- the upper end portion further includes a laterally extending lug.
- the shank is up loadable into a receiver.
- the receiver has a top portion and a base, the top portion being open and having a channel.
- the base includes an inner seating surface partially defining a cavity and a lower aperture or opening.
- the channel of the top portion communicates with the cavity.
- the lower opening is sized and shaped to receive the shank upper portion into the receiver cavity.
- the bone screw assembly also includes a retainer structure that in some embodiments is a contiguously closed ring-like retainer and in other embodiments is an open or discontinuous ring.
- the retainer has an inner ramped slot or cam track with at least one surface frictionally engaging the laterally extending lug, thereby securing the retainer to the shank.
- objects of the invention include: providing an implant wherein all of the parts remain together and do not separate; providing a lightweight, low profile polyaxial bone screw that assembles in such a manner that the components cooperate to create an overall structure that prevents unintentional disassembly; providing a polyaxial bone screw with features that provide adequate frictional or gripping surfaces for bone implantation tools and may be readily, securely fastened to each other and to bone,- and providing apparatus and methods that are easy to use and especially adapted for the intended use thereof and wherein the apparatus are comparatively inexpensive to make and suitable for use.

- Other embodiments of the invention may include up to a plurality of lugs 36, for example, a pair of opposed lateral lugs.
- the top end surface 42 of the shank 4 is preferably curved or dome-shaped as shown in the drawings, for contact engagement or positive mating engagement with the rod 21, when the bone screw assembly 1 is assembled, as shown in Fig. 7 and in any alignment of the shank 4 relative to the receiver 10.
- the surface 42 is smooth. While not required in accordance with practice of the invention, the surface 42 may be scored or knurled to further increase frictional positive mating engagement between the surface 42 and the rod 21.
- the shank 4 shown in the drawings is cannulated, having a small central bore 44 extending an entire length of the shank 4 along the axis A.
- the bore 44 is defined by an inner cylindrical wall 45 of the shank 4 and has a first circular opening 46 at the shank tip 28 and a second circular opening 48 at the top surface 42.
- the bore 44 is coaxial with the threaded body 6 and the capture structure outer surface 34.
- the bore 44 provides a passage through the shank 4 interior for a length of wire (not shown) inserted into the vertebra (not shown) prior to the insertion of the shank body 6, the wire providing a guide for insertion of the shank body 6 into the vertebra.
- the retainer seat 33 of the shank upper portion 8 includes a substantially planar annular upper surface 50 disposed perpendicular to the Axis A of the shank and sized and shaped to be bottom loaded in the receiver 10 with a radially extending width sufficient for frictional mating with the retainer 12 as will be described in greater detail subsequently herein.
- the seat 33 further includes a substantially spherically shaped surface 52 extending from an edge or rim 54 of the flat annular surface 50 and curving downwardly toward the shank body 6 to the neck 26. Although a spherical surface 52 is shown, it is noted that the surface may be conical or otherwise non- spherically curved. In the disclosed embodiment, the surface 52 is flush with an outer surface of the retainer 12 when the seat 33 engages the retainer 12 as will be discussed below.
- the cylindrical portion 34 of the shank upper portion 8 is disposed between the seat portion 33 and the tool engagement structure 40.
- the portion 34 includes a top surface or narrow ledge 56 and a substantially smooth cylindrical surface 58 that runs from the ledge 56 to the annular surface 50 of the seat 33.
- the surface 58 is uniform about the axis A.
- the lug 36 extends laterally from the surface 58 near the ledge 56.

- the bottom surface 61 extends from the cylindrical surface 58 to the outer surface 64. As best illustrated in Fig. 4, the bottom surface 61 is also preferably sloped or ramped at an angle directed downwardly from the side 62 to the side 63 so as to fully frictionally engage a cam track ramped surface of the retainer 12 as will be described in greater detail below. It is foreseen that the bottom surface 61 may also be disposed generally parallel to the seating surface 50 resulting in an edge of the bottom surface 61 ultimately in frictional locking engagement with the cam track of the retainer 12.
- the threaded shank body 6 may be coated, perforated, made porous or otherwise treated.
- the treatment may include, but is not limited to a plasma spray coating or other type of coating of a metal or, for example, a calcium phosphate; or a roughening, perforation or indentation in the shank surface, such as by sputtering, sand blasting or acid etching, that allows for bony ingrowth or ongrowth.
- Certain metal coatings * act as a scaffold for bone ingrowth.
- Bio-ceramic calcium phosphate coatings include, but are not limited to: alpha-tri-calcium phosphate and beta-tri-calcium phosphate (Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , tetra-calcium phosphate (Ca 4 P 2 O 9 ), amorphous calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) .
- Coating with hydroxyapatite for example, is desirable as hydroxyapatite is chemically similar to bone with respect to mineral content and has been identified as being bioactive and thus not only supportive of bone ingrowth, but actively taking part in bone bonding .
- the receiver 10 has a generally U-shaped appearance with a partially cylindrical inner profile and a partially curved and partially faceted outer profile; however, the outer profile could also be partially cylindrical .
- the receiver 10 includes a somewhat curved or spherical base 70 integral with a pair of upstanding arms 72 and 74 forming a U-shaped cradle and defining a U-shaped channel 76 between the arms 72 and 74 with an upper opening 77 and a lower seat 78 having substantially the same radius as the rod 21 for operably snugly receiving the rod 21.

- the neck 103 and associated bore 104 are sized and shaped to be smaller (the second radius) than a radial dimension of the retainer structure 12 (the first radius) , so as to form a restriction at the location of the neck 103 relative to the retainer structure 12, to prevent the retainer structure 12 from passing from the cavity 98 and out into the lower exterior 106 of the receiver 10 when the retainer structure 12 is seated within the receiver 10.
- the inner surface 100 further defines an elongate upper loading recess 107 for accommodating and loading the retainer structure 12 into the cavity 98.
- the loading recess 107 is generally vertically disposed in the receiver 10, extending between and communicating with both the channel 76 and the cavity 98, allowing for ease in top loading the retainer structure 12 into the cavity through the upper opening 77 and otherwise allowing for the spherical wall 100 of the receiver 10 to have a comparatively enlarged radius to allow for increased thickness and strength of the receiver base 70; however, the loading recess 107 is not always necessary.
- the retainer structure or ring 12 is used to capture the shank upper portion 8 and retain the upper portion 8 within the receiver 10.
- the retainer structure 12 has a central bore 110 that passes entirely through the retainer structure 12 from a top surface 112 to a bottom surface 114 thereof.

- the through slot 120 is sized and shaped to receive the lug 36 of the shank upper portion therethrough during installation of the retainer 12 on the shank upper portion 8 within the receiver cavity 98.
- the cam track 122 is sized and shaped to frictionally engage the bottom surface 61 of the lug 36 of the shank upper portion 8, with the retainer 12 bottom surface 114 being seated on the upper surface 50 of the seat 33 of the shank upper portion 8.
- the through slot 120 is defined by an inner cylindrical surface 126 coaxial with the cylindrical surface 116.
- the cylindrical surface 126 also partially defines the cam track 122.
- the surface 126 extends between and through the top surface 112 and the bottom surface 114.
- the through slot 120 is further defined by opposed side surfaces 128 and 130, both of which run parallel to the axis C.
- the side surface 128 extends between and through the top surface 112 and the bottom surface 114.
- the side surface 130 begins at the bottom surface 114 and ends at a ramped surface 132 that partially defines the cam track 122.

- the cam track 122 is defined by a portion of the cylindrical surface 126, the ramped or sloped surface 132 and the stop 134.
- the ramped surface 132 slopes upwardly in a direction toward the top surface 112 as the surface 132 runs from the surface 130 to the stop 134.
- a degree of inclination of the surface 132 substantially matches a degree of inclination of the bottom surface 61 of the lug 36.
- one or both the ramped surface 132 and the lug bottom surface 61 includes a roughening, ridges or some other treatment to further aid frictional locking of the retainer 12 with respect to the lug 36.
- top surface 112 of the retainer 12 in cooperation with the ledge 56 of the shank upper portion 8 provide a surface about the tool engagement structure 40 that is a stable seating surface for the driving tool (not shown) .
- the illustrated slightly curved top surface 112 provides somewhat of a recess to better grip the driving tool. It is also foreseen that the top surface 112 may be planar or include recesses or apertures for receiving a holding tool therein.
- the retainer 12 also has a radially outer partially spherically shaped surface 144 sized and shaped to mate with the partial spherical shaped seating surface 102 of the receiver and having a third radius approximately equal to the first radius associated with the surface 102.
- the retainer structure third radius is larger than the second radius of the neck 103 of the receiver 10.
- the outer partially spherically shaped surface 144 may be a high friction surface such as a knurled surface or the like.
- the elongate rod or longitudinal member 21 that is utilized with the assembly 1 can be any of a variety of implants utilized in reconstructive spinal surgery, but is normally a cylindrical elongate structure having a cylindrical surface 146 of uniform diameter and having a generally smooth surface.
- the longitudinal connecting member 21 may be made from metal, metal alloys or other suitable materials, including plastic polymers such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) , ultra-high-molecular weight-polyethylene (UHMWP) , polyurethanes and composites.
- PEEK polyetheretherketone
- UHMWP ultra-high-molecular weight-polyethylene
- the illustrated rod 21 is preferably sized and shaped to snugly seat near the bottom of the U-shaped channel 76 of the receiver 10 and, during normal operation, is positioned slightly above the bottom of the channel 76 at the lower seat 78.
- the rod 21 normally directly or abutingly engages the shank top surface 42 and is biased against the dome shank top surface 42, consequently biasing the shank 4 downwardly in a direction toward the base 70 of the receiver 10 when the assembly 1 is fully assembled.
- the shank top surface 42 must extend at least slightly into the space of the channel 76 when the retainer structure 12 is snugly seated in the lower part of the receiver cavity 100. The shank 4 and retainer 12 are thereby locked or held in position relative to the receiver 10 by the rod 21 firmly pushing downward on the shank top surface 42.
- the closure structure or closure top 18 can be any of a variety of different types of closure structures for use in conjunction with the present invention with suitable mating structure on the upstanding arms 72 and 74.
- the closure top 18 is rotatably received between the spaced arms 72 and 74.
- the illustrated closure top 18 has a generally cylindrical shaped base 158 with an upwardly extending break-off head 160.
- the base 158 includes a helically wound guide and advancement structure 161 that is sized, shaped and positioned so as to engage and interlock with the guide and advancement structure 82 on the arms 72 and 74 to provide for rotating advancement of the closure structure 18 into the receiver 10 when rotated clockwise and, in particular, to cover the top or upwardly open portion 77 of the U-shaped channel 76 to capture the rod 21 without splaying of the arms 72 and 74.
- the guide and advancement structure 161 utilized in accordance with the present invention may take a variety of forms, including the illustrated substantially square thread and also those described in Applicant's U.S. Patent No. 6,726,689, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the closure structure 18 also operably biases against the rod 21 by advancement and applies pressure to the rod 21 under torquing, so that the rod 21 is urged downwardly against the shank top end surface 42 that extends up into the channel 76.
- Downward biasing of the shank top surface 42 operably produces a frictional engagement between the rod 21 and surface 42 and also urges the retainer structure 12 toward the base 70 of the receiver 10, so as to frictionally seat the retainer structure external spherical surface 144 fixedly against the partial internal spherical seating surface 102 of the receiver 10, also fixing the shank 4 and retainer structure 12 in a selected, rigid position relative to the receiver 10.
- the closure structure break-off head 160 secured to the base 158 at a neck 164 that is sized and shaped so as to break away at a preselected torque that is designed to properly seat the retainer 12 in the receiver 10.
- the break-off head 160 includes an external faceted surface 165 that is sized and shaped to receive a conventional mating socket type head of a driving tool (not shown) to rotate and torque the closure structure 18.
- the break-off head 160 may also include a central bore or other drive or manipulation apertures (not shown) for operably receiving manipulating tools.
- the closure structure 18 also includes removal tool engagement structure which in the present embodiment is illustrated in phantom as an aperture 168, such as a hex-shaped and axially aligned aperture disposed in the base 158.
- the aperture 168 is accessible after the break-off head 160 breaks away from the base 158.
- the aperture 168 is coaxial with the helically wound guide and advancement structure 161 and is designed to receive a driving tool, such as a hex tool of an Allen wrench type, into the aperture 168 for rotating the closure structure base 158 subsequent to installation so as to provide for removal thereof, if necessary.
- the aperture 168 may take a variety of tool-engaging forms and may include one or more apertures of various shapes, such as a pair of spaced apart apertures, or a left hand threaded bore, or an easy-out engageable step down bore, or a Torx aperture, or a multi- lobular aperture or the like.
- the ring-like retainer 12 is typically first inserted or top-loaded, into the receiver U-shaped channel 76 and then into the cavity 98 through the vertical loading recess 107 to dispose the structure 12 within the inner surface 100 of the receiver 10.
- the retainer structure 12 is rotated approximately 90 degrees so as to be coaxial with the receiver 10 and then seated in sliding engagement with the seating surface 102 of the receiver 10 as illustrated in Fig. 5.
- the shank capture structure 8 is then inserted or bottom-loaded into the receiver 10 through the bore 104 defined by the neck 103.
- the retainer structure 12, now disposed in the receiver 10 is coaxially aligned with the shank capture structure 8 so that the lug 36 is received by and moved through the through slot 120 until the bottom surface 114 of the retainer 12 engages the surface 50 of the seat 33.
- the retainer 12 is then rotated about the axis A of the shank 4 until the lug 36 is received in the cam track 122.
- the shank 4 and or the retainer 12 are rotated to fully mate such structures at a factory setting that includes tooling for holding and precisely rotating the shank 4 and/or the retainer 12 until locking frictional engagement therebetween is accomplished.
- a holding tool 180 having an inner surface 182 providing a socket for operatively mating with the shank tool engagement structure 40 is used to hold the shank upper portion 8 while in the receiver 10 during mating rotation of the shank upper portion 8 with the retainer 12.
- the retainer structure 12 may also have tooling features, such as a pair of small apertures so that the retainer 12 is also securely held during the rotation of the lug 36 along the cam track 122. Permanent, rigid engagement of the capture structure 8 to the retainer structure 12 may be further supported by the use of adhesive, a spot weld, a deformation, or the like.
- both the shank 4 and the retainer 12 are in rotatable and swivelable engagement with the receiver 10, while the shank upper portion 8 and the lower aperture or neck 103 of the receiver 10 cooperate to maintain the shank body 6 in swivelable relation with the receiver 10. Only the retainer 12 is in slidable engagement with the receiver spherical seating surface 102.
- the shank upper end 41 and the shank body 6 are in spaced relation with the receiver 10.
- the shank body 6 can be rotated through a substantial angular rotation relative to the receiver 10, both from side to side and from front to rear so as to substantially provide a universal or ball joint.
- the assembly 1 is typically screwed into a bone, such as a vertebra (not shown) , by rotation of the shank 4 using a driving tool (not shown, but having a socket similar to the socket 182 of the tool 180) that operably drives and rotates the shank 4 by engagement thereof with the tool engagement structure 40 that is in the form of a hexagonally shaped extension head.
- a driving tool (not shown, but having a socket similar to the socket 182 of the tool 180) that operably drives and rotates the shank 4 by engagement thereof with the tool engagement structure 40 that is in the form of a hexagonally shaped extension head.
- the driving tool engages the engagement structure 40
- an end portion thereof engages the ledge 56 and may also engage a portion of the curved retainer top surface 112, providing additional gripping of the driving tool .
- the vertebra may be pre-drilled to minimize stressing the bone and have a guide wire (not shown) that is shaped for the cannula 44 inserted to provide a guide for the placement and angle of the shank 4 with respect to the vertebra.
- a further tap hole may be made using a tap with the guide wire as a guide.
- the assembly 1 is threaded onto the guide wire utilizing the cannulation bore 44 by first threading the wire into the bottom opening 46 and then out of the top opening 48.
- the shank 4 is then driven into the vertebra, using the wire as a placement guide.
- the rod 21 is eventually positioned within the receiver U-shaped channel 76, and the closure structure or top 18 is then inserted into and advanced between the arms 72 and 74 so as to bias or push against the rod 21.
- the break-off head 160 of the closure structure 18 is twisted to a preselected torque, for example 90 to 120 inch pounds, to urge the rod 21 downwardly.
- the shank top end surface 42 because it is rounded to approximately equally extend upward into the channel 76 approximately the same amount no matter what degree of rotation exists between the shank 4 and receiver 10 and because the surface 42 is sized to extend upwardly into the U-shaped channel 76, the surface 42 is engaged by the rod 21 and pushed downwardly toward the base 70 of the receiver 10 when the closure structure 18 biases downwardly toward and onto the rod 21.
- the downward pressure on the shank 4 in turn urges the retainer structure 12 downward toward the receiver seating surface 102, with the retainer structure surface 144 in frictional engagement with the receiver seating surface 102.
- the closure structure 18 presses against the rod 21 the rod 21 presses against the shank.
- the retainer structure 12 that is now rigidly attached to the shank 4 is in turn urged downwardly and becomes frictionally and rigidly attached to the receiver 10, fixing the shank body 6 in a desired angular configuration with respect to the receiver 10 and rod 21.
- disassembly is accomplished by using a driving tool of an Allen wrench type (not shown) mating with the aperture 168 and turned counterclockwise to rotate the base 158 and reverse the advancement thereof in the receiver 10. Then, disassembly of the assembly 1 is accomplished in reverse order to the procedure described previously herein for assembly.

- the cam track 320 is sized and shaped to receive the lug 236 of the shank upper portion 208 during installation of the retainer 212 on the shank upper portion 208 within the receiver cavity 298.
- the cam track 320 is sloped or ramped with respect to the axis E and sized and shaped to frictionally engage the lug surfaces 248 and 252, with the retainer 212 seat or step 318 being ultimately frictionally seated on the lower surface 233 of the shank upper portion 208.
- the retainer 212 is in the form of an open or discontinuous ring, having end surfaces 322 and 323 running through the top surface 312 and the bottom surface 314.
- the cam track 320 is open at the end surface 322 and sized and shaped to receive the lug 236 therein.
- the retainer 212 further includes an outer partially spherical surface 326 sized and shaped for slidably mating with the receiver spherical seating surface 302. Formed in the outer surface 326 are at least a pair of expansion grooves 328 running between the top surface 312 and the bottom surface 314, the grooves 328 allowing for the opening or spreading apart of the end surfaces 322 and 323 during installation of the retainer 212 on the shank 204 as will be described in greater detail below.
- one or more lug 236 surfaces and/or surfaces defining the cam track 320 may include a roughening, ridges or some other treatment to further aid frictional locking of the retainer 212 with respect to the lug 236.
- the top surface 312 of the retainer 212 in cooperation with the upper surface or ledge 231 of the shank upper portion 208 provide a surface about the tool engagement structure 240 that is a stable seating surface for the driving tool (not shown) .
- the outer partially spherically shaped surface 326 may be a high friction surface such as a knurled surface or the like.
- the elongate rod or longitudinal member 221 that is utilized with the assembly 201 can be any of a variety of implants utilized in reconstructive spinal surgery as described above with respect to the 21 of the assembly 1.
- the rod 221 normally directly or abutingly engages the shank top surface 242 and is biased against the dome shank top surface 242, consequently biasing the shank 204 downwardly in a direction toward the base 270 of the receiver 210 when the assembly 201 is fully assembled.
- the shank top surface 242 must extend at least slightly into the space of the channel 276 when the retainer structure 212 is snugly seated in the lower part of the receiver cavity 302.
- the closure structure or closure top 218 can be any of a variety of different types of closure structures for use in conjunction with the present invention with suitable mating structure on the upstanding arms 272 and 274. In the embodiment shown, the closure top 218 is rotatably received between the spaced arms 272 and 274.
- the illustrated closure top 218 is generally cylindrical in shape and includes a helically wound guide and advancement structure 361 that is sized, shaped and positioned so as to engage and interlock with the guide and advancement structure 282 on the arms 272 and 274 to provide for rotating advancement of the closure structure 218 into the receiver 210 when rotated clockwise and, in particular, to cover the top or upwardly open portion of the U-shaped channel 276 to capture the rod 221 without splaying of the arms 272 and 274.
- the guide and advancement structure 361 utilized in accordance with the present invention may take a variety of forms, including the illustrated substantially square thread and also those described in Applicant's U.S. Patent No. 6,726,689, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the closure structure 218 also operably biases against the rod 221 by advancement and applies pressure to the rod 221 under torquing, so that the rod 221 is urged downwardly against the shank top end surface 242 that extends up into the channel 276.
- Downward biasing of the shank top surface 242 operably produces a frictional engagement between the rod 221 and surface 242 and also urges the retainer structure 212 toward the base 270 of the receiver 210, so as to frictionally seat the retainer structure external spherical surface 326 fixedly against the partial internal spherical seating surface 302 of the receiver 210, also fixing the shank 204 and retainer structure 212 in a selected, rigid position relative to the receiver 210.
- the closure structure includes a top surface 364 and an opposed bottom substantially planar surface 365.
- the top surface 364 has an internal drive feature 366 formed thereon shown as a star-shaped or Torx aperture sized and shaped to receive a driving tool (not shown) .
- the aperture 366 may take a variety of tool -engaging forms and may include one or more apertures of various shapes, such as a pair of spaced apart apertures, or a left hand threaded bore, or an easy-out engageable step down bore, hex drive or multi-lobular aperture or the like.
- the ring-like retainer 212 is first inserted onto the shank 204 at the neck 226.
- the retainer end surfaces 322 and 323 are pulled away from one another, the retainer 212 thereby expanding to receive the shank neck 226 within the inner walls 316 and 317 with the retainer top surface 312 facing the shank upper portion 208.
- the expansion grooves 328 compress as the retainer 212 is expanded.
- the retainer 212 returns to a neutral non-expanded substantially circular configuration.
- the retainer 212 is then compressed with the end surfaces 322 and 323 being pushed toward one another to a touching or near touching configuration. While in such a compressed orientation, the shank upper portion 208 and the compressed retainer 212 are up or bottom loaded into the receiver 210 at the neck 303. Once both the upper portion 208 and the retainer 212 are within the receiver cavity 298, pressure is released from the retainer 212 and the end surfaces 322 and 323 are allowed to return to an original spaced and neutral position as illustrated in Fig. 15 with the retainer outer surface 326 in sliding engagement with the receiver seating surface 302. With reference to Fig. 16, the shank capture structure 208 is then lowered into the retainer 212 with the lug 236 disposed between the end surface 322 and the end surface 323.
- the retainer 212 or the shank 204 is then rotated with respect to the axis E of the shank 104 with the lug 236 entering the cam track 320 at the surface 322.
- the lug 236 is moved along the sloped cam track 320 until the track terminates or the lug is otherwise fully frictionally engaged with surfaces defining the track 320 and with the retainer annular seating surface 318 fully frictionally engaged with the shank lower annular surface 233, frictionally locking the retainer 212 between the lug 236 and the lower seat or surface 233, the retainer 212 now in fixed coaxial relationship with the shank 204.
- the shank 204 and or the retainer 212 are rotated to fully mate such structures at a factory setting that includes tooling for holding and precisely rotating the shank 204 and/or the retainer 212 until locking frictional engagement therebetween is accomplished.
- the retainer structure 212 may also have tooling features, such as a pair of small apertures so that the retainer 212 is also securely held during the rotation of the lug 236 along the cam track 320. Permanent, rigid engagement of the capture structure 208 to the retainer structure 212 may be further supported by the use of adhesive, a spot weld, a deformation, or the like.
- both the shank 204 and the retainer 212 are in rotatable and swivelable engagement with the receiver 210, while the shank upper portion 208 and the lower aperture or neck of the receiver 210 cooperate to maintain the shank body 206 in swivelable relation with the receiver 210.
- Only the retainer 212 is in slidable engagement with the receiver spherical seating surface 302.
- the shank body 206 can be rotated through a substantial angular rotation relative to the receiver 210, both from side to side and from front to rear so as to substantially provide a universal or ball joint.
- the assembly 201 is typically screwed into a bone, such as a vertebra (not shown) , by rotation of the shank 204 using a driving tool (not shown) that operably drives and rotates the shank 204 by engagement thereof with the tool engagement structure 240 that is in the form of a hexagonally shaped extension head.
- a bone such as a vertebra (not shown)
- a driving tool (not shown) that operably drives and rotates the shank 204 by engagement thereof with the tool engagement structure 240 that is in the form of a hexagonally shaped extension head.
- the vertebra may be pre-drilled to minimize stressing the bone and have a guide wire (not shown) that is shaped for the cannula 244 inserted to provide a guide for the placement and angle of the shank 204 with respect to the vertebra.
- a further tap hole may be made using a tap with the guide wire as a guide.
- the assembly 201 is threaded onto the guide wire utilizing the cannulation bore 244.
- the shank 204 is then driven into the vertebra, using the wire as a placement guide.
- the rod 221 is eventually positioned within the receiver U-shaped channel 276, and the closure structure or top 218 is then inserted into and advanced between the arms 272 and 274 so as to bias or push against the rod 221.
- the shank top end surface 242 because it is rounded to approximately equally extend upward into the channel 276 approximately the same amount no matter what degree of rotation exists between the shank 204 and receiver 210 and because the surface 242 is sized to extend upwardly into the U-shaped channel 276, the surface 242 is engaged by the rod 221 and pushed downwardly toward the base 270 of the receiver 210 when the closure structure 218 biases downwardly toward and onto the rod 221.
- the downward pressure on the shank 204 in turn urges the retainer structure 212 downward toward the receiver seating surface 302, with the retainer surface 326 in frictional engagement with the receiver seating surface 302.
- the rod 221 presses against the shank.
- the retainer structure 212 that is now rigidly attached to the shank 204 is in turn urged downwardly and becomes frictionally and rigidly attached to the receiver 210, fixing the shank body 206 in a desired angular configuration with respect to the receiver 210 and rod 221.
- disassembly is accomplished by using a driving tool of Torx wrench type (not shown) mating with the aperture 366 and turned counterclockwise to rotate the closure structure 218 and reverse the advancement thereof in the receiver 210. Then, disassembly of the assembly 201 is accomplished in reverse order to the procedure described previously herein for assembly.
