Abstract

See full text

A system and method for stabilizing the spine. The system comprises a fixation screw with a threaded section, and a fixation plate with a top and bottom surface. The fixation plate has a pre-drill hole arranged on the side of the top surface, and with the pre-drill hole, an actual fixation hole is made to the plate. The fixation hole is made when the plate is arranged at its future fixation point on the surface of bone tissue such that the fixation hole forms a first angle relative to the plate, whose size is selectable from several alternatives within certain limit values. The threaded section of the fixation hole is made during the same work phase as the threaded section in the bone tissue.
