Claim:
1. A kit including an apparatus for reinforcing a damaged bone and a tool for mounting the apparatus, with said apparatus comprising: a cap; a substantially rigid tube adjacent to the cap, wherein the substantially rigid tube comprises: an outer tube having a through hole axially set within the outer tube, wherein a connection portion is set at one end of the outer tube, wherein the securing part is fitted in the connection portion, and a base is set at another end of the outer tube; a separate inner coupling member, wherein a recess and a first fitting hole in an axial direction are set on the separate inner coupling member; a hollow body, wherein the hollow body is void in a middle thereof, wherein an inner tube is formed within the hollow body, wherein a tunnel is axially set within the inner tube, wherein a lock is set at one side of the inner tube, wherein a first external threaded portion is set at another side of the inner tube, and wherein the first external threaded portion is connected to the threaded inner wall of the expanding apparatus to embed the lock into the recess, to restrict shift of the separate inner coupling member only in the axial direction on the hollow body; and a handle, wherein a steering portion is connected to one side of the handle, and a twisting portion is set at another side of the handle; wherein continuously exerting a twisting force to the handle makes the outer tube compress the expanding apparatus, and wherein an adjustable part of the expanding apparatus is compressed and deformed by twisting torque, to form an expandable implant of which an expanding degree and shape are adjustable.
