Abstract:
A bone anchor includes a shank for anchoring to a bone and a receiving part for coupling a rod to the shank. The receiving part includes a base and two legs each including a first portion extending away from the base, and a second portion extending from the first portion further away from the base, and an elongate extension member extending from the second portion still further away from the base. An internal engagement structure is provided on the first and second portions for engaging a fixation device. A breakaway portion facilitates breaking away of the second portion. The extension members are at least as long as the second portions. The second portions are stiffer than a region of the extension members adjacent the second portions.

Claim (Index 1):
A bone anchor comprising:\n a shank for anchoring to a bone or a vertebra; and a receiving part for receiving a rod for coupling the rod to the shank, the receiving part comprising a base and two free legs extending from the base to define a recess for inserting the rod; wherein each of the legs comprises a first portion extending away from the base, and a second portion connected to an end of the first portion opposite the base and extending from the first portion further away from the base, wherein an internal engagement structure is provided on at least part of the first portion and on at least part of the second portion for engaging a fixation device to secure the rod in the recess, wherein a breakaway portion is provided between the first portion and the second portion to facilitate breaking away of the second portion from the first portion; and wherein each of the legs further comprises an elongate extension member connected to an end of the second portion opposite the first portion and extending from the second portion further away from the base, wherein the extension members are at least as long axially as the second portions, and wherein the second portions of the legs are stiffer than a region of the extension members adjacent to the second portions.
