Abstract
ABSTRACT
A bone screw (1) has a threaded portion (2) and a head (3). Such screws are used in particular as pedicle screws.
In order that the bone screw can be anchored securely also in soft bone tissue, the screw is provided with a longi-tudinal bore (5) extending along the longitudinal axis of the threaded portion (2), the longitudinal bore (5) being provided with a tapered portion (7) opposite to the head (3). In this region of the screw, slits are extending parallel to the threaded portion and an interior thread is provided. An expander part (12) having a tip (14) forming the point of the screw and a shaft (16) having a threaded portion (17) cooperating with said interior thread are provided.

Description
r r~ ~ 3 BONE SCREW
The invention relates to a bone screw comprising a threaded portion and a head, such screws being used par-ticularly as pedicel screws.
A screw of this type is known e.g. from DE-3~ 14 101 C.
In some cases the bone tissue in which the screw is to be anchored is so soft that sufficiently fixing the screw is difficult.
It is an object of the invention to provide a bone screw having a threaded portion and a head which improves the anchoring in bones as compared to conventional screws.
The anchoring should be precisely adjustable.
This object is attained by the bone screw as outlined in claim 1.
Additional features are indicated in the subclaims.
Further features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description of the figures which show:
Fig. 1 an exploded view of the bone screw, partially as sectional view, and Fig. 2 the assembled screw together with a connecting part.
The bone screw 1 comprises a threaded portion 2 formed unitary with a head 3. The threaded portion is provided wi-th an external thread 4 as commonly used with bone screws. As can be seen from Fig. 1, a coaxially aligned longitudinal bore extends through the interior of said screw. At the free ' ., ~

- 2 ~ 3 end 6 opposite to the head a tapered conical portion 7 is provided. Slits 8 extend parallel to the longitudinal direction of said -threaded portion. The axial leng-th of said slits is at least equal to twice the length of said conical portion. Preferably, one pair of slits is pro-vided, the slits being displaced by 180 degrees with respect to each other.
Opposite to the free end the head 3 is provided with a plane face arranged perpendicular with respect to the axis of symmetry. A recess 10 extends in axial direction which is formed to allow the screw to be screwed into a bone by a screw driver. The diameter of said recess is larger than the diameter of said longitudinal bore. Adjacent to the recess 10 a threaded portion 11 is arranged. Preferably, the length of this portion is at least twice the length of the tapered portion 7.
As can be seen from Fig. 1, the point of the bone screw is formed as a separate tip 12. A coaxially aligned bore 13 is provided at the end pointing towards said head. The opposite end has a point 14 corresponding to the tip of the bone screw. Opposite said point the exterior of said tip has a conical portion 15 tapering towards the conical portion 7 and formed to fit into said portion 7.
A shaft 16 is provided having a first threaded portion 17. The diameter and the pitch of this thread correspond to the interior thread of the portion 11 so that both threads may be joined. The diameter of the rest of the shaft 16 is dimensioned so it may be inserted into the longitudinal bore.
Opposite -to the first threaded portion 17 a second threaded portion 18 is provided which cooperates with an interior portion 18 and the pitch of the -thread in the bore 13 are opposite to the pitch of the first threaded portion 17 and to the pitch of the corresponding interior thread in portion 11 .
The length of the shaft 16 is selected such that the second threaded portion 18 extends into the tapered portion - 3 ~
7 and the tip 12 can be screwed onto this portion. Con-sequently, as shown in Fig. 2, the point 12 forms the normal point of the bone screw when the first threaded portion 17 is screwed to the end or at leas-t close to the end of the threaded portion 11. A slit 19 is provided at -the end of said threaded portion into which a screw driver may be inserted.
In operation, first the shaft 16 is screwed into the longi-tudinal bore 5 to the end of the threaded portion 11.
Next, the tip 12 is screwed onto the second threaded portion 18 projecting into the tapered portion 7, thus forming the normal point of the screw, as shown in Fig. 2. If required, the head of the bone screw may be provided with a connecting part 20 which is movable with respect to said screw head, as described in DE 37 11 013 C. The connecting part serves to connect the screw with rods for the fixation of bone fragments, in particular spinal elements.
When the bone screw has been screwed into a bone, the shaft 16 can be unscrewed into the direction of the head 3 by inserting a screw driver into slit 19. Due to the opposite pitch of the threaded portions 17 and 18 the connection bet-ween the second threaded portion 18 and the expander part is maintained, the expander part being pulled into the portion provided with slits, thus effecting an expansion of the threaded portion 2. Since the region in which force is transferred from the expander part to the threaded shaft is not deformed, a very precise adjustment is possible.
In a further embodiment portion 11 may be provided with a greater diameter as compared -to the diameter of the longitudinal bore 5, the diameter of the first threaded portion 17 having corresponding size.
According to a further example, the portion 11 has a smaller diameter than the adjacent portion of the longi-tudinal bore 5. The diameter of the first -threaded por-tion corresponds to the interior thread of the portion 11. Shaft 16 and expander part 12 are formed unitary, the shaft 16 and the expander par-t being inserted from the free end 6 into the threaded portion 2. In this case, the first threaded portion 17 has a length such that the shaft may be moved -from a position in which the point 14 is positloned as shownin Fig. 2 - toward the head, the expansion being effected by pulling the expander part into the slit portion.
Opposite to the free end the head 3 is provided with a plane face arranged perpendicular with respect to the axis of symmetry.

The diameter of said recess is larger than the diameter of said longitudinal bore. Adjacent to the recess 10 a threaded portion 11 is arranged.
