FIELD: medicine, in particular, equipment used in traumatology and orthopedics.
SUBSTANCE: apparatus has connection member 5, sealing cap 12, tightening means 13, locking means 21 for fixation, fixation means 35 used for securing of screw head 30 of bone fixation means in cavity 8 of connection member 5. Connection member 5 is positioned coaxially relative to central axis 2 and has upper end 6, lower end 7, cavity 8 arranged coaxially relative to central axis 2 extending through connection member 5 from its upper end 6 to its lower end 7, said cavity converging to its lower end 7 formed as at least one flange 9, and channel 10 extending through connection member 5 transverse to longitudinal axis 2 for receiving of longitudinal holder 11. Sealing cap 12 has front end 20, rear end 19, second cavity 18 open at its front end 20 for locating therein of connection member 5, and second channel 17 extending transverse to central axis 2 and opening toward front end 20 of sealing cap 12. Tightening means 13 may be fixed at rear end 19 of sealing cap 12 for retaining of longitudinal holder 11 located in channel 10 in connection member 5. Locking means 21 are positioned outside connection member 5 and in second cavity 18 of sealing cap 12 so as to mate each other and serve for fixation of sealing cap 12 on connection member 5.
EFFECT: increased efficiency owing to reduced space for implantation which is due to the possibility of introducing surgical instrument having diameter smaller than that of implant for preventing surrounding tissues from injury.
