ABSTRACT:
A component is an anchor having a hollow shank with an outer threaded surface for securely fixing to a bone and a threaded interior surface for cooperatively receiving a screw. The anchor cooperates with the screw that engages the interior surface of the shank to form an assembly for holding an element in place to support and strengthen the bone. A method for using the device includes forming a cavity in the bone; fixing the anchor; placing the element over the anchor; and fixedly attaching the plate by engaging the screw through the element and into the anchor.
