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 8):
A method of manufacturing a prosthetic component configured to engage an anchor in a patient, including:\n machining a fixing channel into an anchor interface side of the prosthetic component, wherein the fixing channel terminates internally of the component; profiling the anchor interface side of the prosthetic component to interlock with the anchor; machining an installation channel from an outer surface of the prosthetic component that meets the fixing channel internally of the component; and machining a fastener seat through the installation channel at the juncture of the fixing channel and installation channel, including profiling the fastener seat to have a radius of curvature that is substantially the same as a spherical or part spherical head of a fastener adapted to be accommodated on the fastener seat through the fixing channel, the fixing channel having a fixing axis that intersects an installation axis of the installation channel at a point that lies within the radius of curvature of the fastener seat.
