ABSTRACT:
An osteosynthetic member, such as a bone screw, is provided with a weakened zone which breaks in response to the application of excessive bending, shearing and/or other stresses. The location of the weakened zone is selected in such a way that it is spaced apart from a bone into which an externally threaded section of the member extends. This ensures that the protruding part of the externally threaded section can be engaged by pliers, by a screwdriver or another suitable tool to withdraw the externally threaded section from the bone.
