The plug sleeve can be slightly expanded at its end facing the head of the screw and also expanded to a greater extent at its other end, so that simple assembly and firm clamping in the bone tissue is achieved. It is possible to monitor the position of the plug sleeve in the bone constantly during assembly on an X-ray screen in conjunction with a metallic screwdriver or a measuring scale provided on the screwdriver for screwing the sleeve into the bone.
