ABSTRACT:
To allow for greater ease of rod installation in a bone fixing screw having a threaded portion, and to prevent an installed rod from slipping out of place, there is formed at an outer end of a thread 11, a rod-receiving portion 12 having an opening obliquely placed with respect to the axial direction of the thread 11, so that a rod 20 can be inserted in a slantwise direction, and when it is stored in the rod-receiving portion 12, the rod 20 is secured in place with a retaining screw 14.
