Abstract:
A closure for an open headed medical implant, such as a bone screw. The closure having a cylindrical body having an axis of rotation and also having a radially outer surface with a thread or other guide and advancement structure thereon. The body having a plurality of apertures that open onto a top surface of the body and that are parallel to but spaced from the axis of rotation. The closure also has a break-off head centrally attached by a neck to the top surface of the body.

Claim (Index 6):
A medical implant comprising:\n a bone anchor head including a first upright arm and a second upright arm, the first upright arm having a first top surface, a first exterior surface adjacent to the first top surface, and a first interior surface, the second upright arm having a second top surface, a second exterior surface adjacent to the second top surface, and a second interior surface; a channel formed between the first upright arm and the second upright arm, the channel configured to receive a rod; a discontinuous helically wound thread extending along at least a portion of the first interior surface and the second interior surface; a threaded closure having a closed ring body and a set screw, the closed ring body having a top body surface opposite a bottom body surface and an outer body surface, the set screw having a set screw outer surface; a plurality of spaced-apart tool mating structures formed within the top body surface and extending partially down into the closed ring body such that none of the plurality of spaced-apart tool mating structures intersect the bottom body surface; a threaded central bore extending between the top body surface and the bottom body surface; a continuous thread extending about the set screw outer surface; a closure helically wound thread extending about the outer body surface, the closure helically wound thread threadedly mating with the discontinuous helically wound thread during rotational advancement of the closed ring body within the channel to close the channel and capture the rod such that when the threaded closure helically wound thread of the threaded closure is fully mated with the discontinuous helically wound thread of the bone anchor head, the first top surface, the second top surface, the first exterior surface, and the second exterior surface are each not covered by the threaded closure; and a continuous bottom surface closing a lower portion of the set screw and configured to engage and compress the rod into a locked position within the channel as the continuous thread of the set screw engages the threaded central bore.
