Abstract
An endoscopic insertion apparatus for a spinal column implant system is provided having a screwing-in tool and an elongated holding device for holding a bone plate. The implant system essentially comprises at least one anchoring element, a bone plate connected to the anchoring element and at least one connection element for connecting at least two bone plates. The holding device comprises an insertion sleeve and a centering element. The centering element and the insertion sleeve can be connected to one another in a screwing-in position by a coupling mechanism in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the holding device, and the centering element and insertion sleeve can be separated from one another in a centering position. The invention reduces the number of parts used as compared to prior art insertion apparatus and simplifies handling, particularly of the centering element, since the centering element is provided as part of the holding device.
