This invention is an anchor (14) having a hollow shank (20) with an outer threaded surface (16) for securdy fixing to a bone (18) and a threaded interior surface (22) for cooperatively receiving a screw (24). The anchor (14) cooperates with the screw (24) that engages the interior surface (22) of the shank (20) to form an assembly for holding an element (12) in place to support and strengthen the bone (18). A method for using the device includes forming a cavity in the bone (18); fixing the anchor (14); placing the element (12) over the anchor (14); and fixedly attaching the plate (12) by engaging the screw (24) through the element (12) and into the anchor (14).

L'invention concerne une ancre (14) possédant une tige creuse (20) pourvue d'une surface externe filetée (16) qui se fixe solidement à un os (18) et d'une surface interne filetée (22) qui reçoit de manière coopérante une vis (24). L'ancre (14) coopère avec la vis (24) qui vient en prise avec la surface interne (22) de la tige (20) afin de former un ensemble destiné à maintenir un élément (12) en place afin de soutenir et renforcer l'os (18). L'invention concerne également un procédé d'utilisation de ce dispositif qui consiste à former une cavité dans l'os (18); à fixer l'ancre (14); à placer l'élément (12) sur l'ancre (14); et à fixer solidement la plaque (12) en faisant passer la vis (24) à travers l'élément (12), puis en la faisant entrer dans l'ancre (14).
