Abstract:
1. A device for securing to an osseous structure, comprising: a first part; a second part; a ligature including a flexible elongate member for engaging the osseous structure, the flexible elongate member being threaded through an orifice in the first part and a gap between the first and second parts; a closure element extending through the first part and engaging with the second part for clamping the first and second parts against each other so as to frictionally lock the flexible elongate member threaded through the gap between the first and second parts; and a deformable element between the first part and the second part, which in an initial, undeformed position is suited to hold open said gap, and which in a second, deformed position allows the gap to be narrowed; wherein the deformable element is plastically deformable between said undeformed and deformed positions; wherein said closure element is screw-threaded.
