Abstract:
1. A bone implant comprising: an implant including an implantation end and a connection end, wherein the implant further includes an outer thread extending between the implantation end and the connection end, wherein the implant further includes a blind hole formed in the connection end and extending in an axial direction, defining an abutment receiving section and a locking section in an interior of the implant, wherein the interior of the implant includes an abutment stop section between the abutment receiving section and the locking section, wherein the abutment receiving section includes an anti-rotation portion having a hole, wherein the hole has non-circular cross sections perpendicular to the axial direction, wherein the anti-rotation portion has a minimal inner width perpendicular to the axial direction, and wherein the locking section adjoins a closed end of the blind hole; an abutment including an elastic, deformable portion, a connection portion, and a prosthesis engagement portion, wherein the elastic, deformable portion, the connection portion, and the prosthesis engagement portion are connected to each other in the axial direction, wherein the elastic, deformable portion of the abutment abuts the abutment stop section, wherein the abutment further includes a bore extending through the elastic, deformable portion, the connection portion, and the prosthesis engagement portion in the axial direction, wherein the elastic, deformable portion includes a plurality of resilient plates spaced from each other, wherein a slit is formed between two adjacent resilient plates, wherein each of the plurality of resilient plates includes an end face and a free end having an inclined face, wherein the elastic, deformable portion has a maximal outer width when the plurality of resilient plates is not subjected to a force, wherein the maximal outer width is larger than the minimal inner width, wherein the elastic, deformable portion is aligned and engaged with the anti-rotation portion of the implant, wherein the elastic, deformable portion has decreasing outer diameters toward the free ends of the plurality of resilient plates, wherein the locking section has an inner diameter perpendicular to the axial direction of the implant smaller than an inner diameter of the abutment stop section perpendicular to the axial direction, forming a first abutment face, wherein each of the plurality of resilient plates has the end face abutting the first abutment face, wherein the inner diameter of the abutment stop section is smaller than the minimal inner width of the abutment receiving section, forming a second abutment face, and wherein the inclined face of each of the plurality of resilient plates abuts the second abutment face; and an abutment screw including a head end positioned in the bore of the abutment, wherein the abutment screw further includes a locking end engaged with the locking section of the implant.
