Abstract:
1. A set of fixtures for installation in bone tissue, comprising a first fixture for insertion into a bore hole arranged in bone tissue for providing static strain to the bone tissue, and a second fixture for insertion into a bore hole arranged in bone tissue for providing static strain to the bone tissue, wherein the static strain provided by the first fixture if installed into a bore hole is, at least with respect to magnitude and/or axial extension, different from the static strain provided by the second fixture if the second fixture would be installed into said bore hole instead of the first fixture, wherein each one of said fixtures comprises a leading portion and a wider trailing portion for providing the static strain to the bone tissue, wherein the axial length of the trailing portion of the first fixture is longer than the axial length of the trailing portion of the second fixture, whereby the static strain in the bone is applied over a longer axial distance if the first fixture is installed compared to if the second fixture is installed.
