Abstract:
A coupling assembly for coupling a rod to a bone anchoring element, and including a receiving part having a first end, a second end, and an accommodation space having an opening at the second end for inserting a head of the bone anchoring element, a pressure element insertable from the first end, positionable in the accommodation space, and configured to hold the head, the pressure element having at least one spring portion extending circumferentially around the pressure element and being radially compressible, and a rod receiving element separable from the pressure element, wherein in a first position, the spring portion is configured to engage an engagement structure at an inner wall of the receiving part to prevent movement of the pressure element towards the first end, and wherein the rod receiving element is configured to move the pressure element from the first position towards the second end.

Claim (Index 1):
A coupling assembly for coupling a rod to a bone anchoring element, the coupling assembly comprising,\n a receiving part having a first end, a second end, and a central axis extending through the first and second ends, a recess at the first end for receiving the rod, and an accommodation space for accommodating a head of the bone anchoring element, the accommodation space having an opening at the second end for inserting the head; a pressure element comprising a compressible portion defining a hollow interior chamber for holding and clamping the head of the bone anchoring element therein, and at least one spring portion extending circumferentially around the pressure element and being radially compressible, wherein the compressible portion is compressible independently from movement of the spring portion; and a rod receiving element separable from the pressure element for supporting the rod; wherein in a first position, the spring portion engages an engagement structure at an inner wall of the receiving part to prevent movement of the pressure element towards the first end of the receiving part, and wherein the rod receiving element is configured to move the pressure element from the first position towards the second end of the receiving part.
