Abstract:
A system for fixing a prosthetic component to an anchor implanted in the bone of a patient. The prosthetic component includes a fixing channel and an installation channel. The fixing channel opens to an engagement collar configured to engage with a bone anchor. The installation channel opens from an outer surface of the prosthetic and communicates with the fixing channel. The installation channel permits placement of a fastener therethrough into the fixing channel to secure the prosthetic to the bone anchor. The axes of the fixing channel and the installation channel intersect at a point which lies within the radius of a fastener seat which is configured to engage a head of the fastener when the fastener is placed into the fixing channel.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for fixing a prosthetic component to an anchor implanted in bone of a patient, the system comprising:\n a fastener configured for location in the prosthetic component for fastening the prosthetic component to the anchor, the fastener having a spherical or part spherical head, and a shaft with a length; and a prosthetic component having a fixing channel and an installation channel, the fixing channel opening at one end at an anchor engagement collar, and an opposite end opening internally of the component to meet the installation channel at a fastener seat, the fixing channel being configured to accommodate there-through the shaft of the fastener while the head of the fastener sits on the fastener seat, the fastener seat being profiled to receive, and have substantially the same radius of curvature, as the fastener head, the installation channel opening to an outer surface of the prosthetic component and having an installation axis that is inclined relative to a fixing axis of the fixing channel, the axis of the fixing channel intersecting the installation axis at a point that lies within the radius of the fastener seat, said collar being profiled to interlock with the anchor.
