Abstract
One embodiment of the present application includes an apparatus comprising a bone attachment device for a spinal fixation system or other implant arrangement. The device has a socket with threading, with the socket defining a channel to accept a system component to be secured therein by engaging the threading with a threaded fastener. A solid lubricious material is applied between the threading and the threaded fastener to facilitate easier installation, increased locking forces, and decreased distortion of system components. The lubricious material may be affixed to one or more the threaded components to be separately carried therewith prior to interconnection. Other implant apparatus, systems, processes, and techniques are also disclosed.
