Abstract
A set screw with a deformable saddle for use in securing a stabilization member within a bone stabilization system. The bone stabilization system includes a bone anchor, a stabilization member, a coupling mechanism and a locking device. The locking device is structured to engage the coupling mechanism and the coupling mechanism is configured to couple the stabilization member to the bone anchor. The locking device which is configured to thread into the coupling mechanism, includes a set screw connected to a saddle member. The saddle member is fabricated from a deformable material. The locking device is configured to frictionally secure the stabilization member within the coupling mechanism by the application of a compressive force.
