Abstract:
A receiving part for receiving a rod for coupling the rod to a bone anchoring element includes a receiving part body including a first end and a second end, and having a substantially U-shaped recess at the first end forming a channel 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 introducing the head; and a pressure element arranged at least partially in the accommodation space, the pressure element including a first section having a second recess for receiving the rod, and a second section having a flexible portion to clamp the head, the first section and the second section being fixed relative to each other, wherein said pressure element is insertable from the opening.

Claim (Index 20):
A bone anchoring device comprising:\n a bone anchoring element comprising a shaft and a head; a receiving part for receiving a rod for coupling the rod to the bone anchoring element, the receiving part comprising:\n a receiving part body having a first end, a second end below the first end, a substantially U-shaped recess at the first end forming a channel for receiving the rod, an accommodation space for accommodating the head of the bone anchoring element, and an opening at the second end for inserting the head into the accommodation space; and \n a pressure element configured to be arranged at least partially in the accommodation space, the pressure element comprising a first section configured to contact the rod when the pressure element is in the receiving part, and a second section axially connected to the first section and having an expandable portion configured to accommodate and clamp the head; \n wherein the pressure element is insertable upwards through the opening at the second end of the receiving part body into the accommodation space; and wherein when the pressure element is in the receiving part body and the head is held in the expandable portion of the pressure element, the pressure element is configured to assume a pre-locking position wherein an abutment at an inner wall of the receiving part body holds the pressure element against movement towards the first end of the receiving part body, while the inner wall of the receiving part body further prevents removal of the head from the receiving part.
