Abstract
A tubular element is disclosed that is useful for an implant for spine or bone surgery. The element has a cylindrical wall with and a bone thread section with a bone thread and a plurality of apertures in the wall in the bone thread section. At least one end of the element is structured and arranged to receive a head or a tip, and wherein the apertures are located in the root of the bone thread and comprise dimensions such that the crest of the bone thread is intact. Further, implants are described that include as a component the tubular element as well as methods of use of such implants. These implants have the advantage of serving as a fusion element and simultaneously allowing a smooth insertion into bone without causing additional damage of the bone due to apertures.
