- a connector 22 a sleeve mechanism 24, and a locking mechanism 26 are provided to connect an implant 28 and an elongate member 30.
- connector 22 is an oblong piece having a first portion 34 with a hole 36, and a second portion 38 with a hole 40. Portions 34 and 38 are side-by-side in that embodiment.
- Hole 36 has a longitudinal axis along or parallel to which support 30 extends.
- hole 36 is separated into a substantially cylindrical portion 42 and a second portion 44, which may also be cylindrical. Portions 42 and 44 may be separated by one or more ridges or protrusions 46, which can extend substantially along the whole length of hoe 36.
- Portion 42 of hole 36 may have a diameter or width substantially the same as or slightly larger than a diameter or width of support 30, and a distance between ridges 46 (or between a ridge 46 and an opposing wall in embodiments having one ridge) may be substantially the same as or slightly smaller than a diameter or width of support 30.
- Hole 40 of connector 22 in an illustrated embodiment, includes substantially cylindrical portions 50 and substantially flat portions 52, giving hole 40 a generally oblong configuration. Holes 40 and 36 overlap or communicate with each other, as at area 54.
- a part 56 of hole 40 widens as it approaches a surface of connector 22, and in a particular embodiment part 56 has wall portions 58 that are concavely curved. Wall portions 58 could be spherically or parabolically concave, or may be convex in such shapes or others, or could be otherwise configured, for example conical.
- the axis of hole 36 is below a plane P that bisects portion 34 and is substantially perpendicular to hole 40.
- a plane P may be perpendicular to a surface 62 and equidistant from surfaces 64 and 66 of portion 38.
- more of support 30 will be below plane P than will be above it.
- a surface 68 of portion 34 in that embodiment may be a greater distance from plane P than surface 66 of portion 38 is from plane P.
- Surfaces and corners of connector 22 may be rounded.
- An illustrated embodiment of sleeve mechanism 24 is a sleeve having a threaded portion 72, a medial portion 74, a bulbous portion 76, and a hole 78 through them.
- That embodiment of threaded portion 72 includes machine threads and two substantially flat surfaces 80. It will be seen that embodiments of sleeve mechanism 24 may have zero or more such flat surfaces. Where one or more surfaces 80 are provided, they may be configured to be adjacent to surfaces 52 when sleeve mechanism 24 is placed in connector 22.
- Medial portion 74 is generally cylindrical.
- bulbous portion 76 is substantially pear-shaped, having a first convex part 82 connecting with medial portion 74 and a second convex part 84 that is further distal from threaded portion 72.

- Threaded hole 94 is for accommodating threaded portion 72 of sleeve mechanism 24. It will be seen that a variety of locking mechanisms could be used depending on the configuration of sleeve mechanism 24. For example, a variety of threaded members could be used if sleeve mechanism 24 is threaded, or if sleeve mechanism 24 is not threaded, other types of locking, holding or clamping members could be used.
- Implant 28 is shown in one embodiment as a screw having a threaded bone engagement portion 96 and a connecting portion 98.
- Engagement portion 96 will have standard cancellous bone threads or other threads adapted to engaging with bone.
- Connecting portion 98 is substantially cylindrical in that embodiment, and its diameter may be substantially the same as the root diameter of engagement portion 98. In other embodiments of implant 28, a hook, clamp or other bone-engaging structure may be a part of engagement portion 96. Connecting portion 98 may have any of a number of external shapes, and may be smooth, roughened, or otherwise textured. Connecting portion 98 may include a print 100, which is an internal hexagonal print in the above embodiment, for accommodating a holding, gripping or driving tool. It will be seen that print 100 could be otherwise configured, e.g. hexalobed or square, or external.
