Abstract: An anchoring system for mounting an object (O) to a bone (B), comprising first (M) and second (F) anchoring members each having proximal and distal ends. The proximal ends are adapted to hold the object (O) to the bone (B) and are spaced from each other with the first and second anchoring members (M,F) converging from the proximal ends towards the distal ends. The anchoring members (M, F) are adapted to be connected to each other in the bone and distally of the proximal ends. There are provided at least two first anchoring members (M) each adapted to be connected to the second anchoring member (F). The second anchoring member (F) and each of the first anchoring members (M) define co-operating engagement means for connecting each first anchoring member (M) to the second anchoring member (F). Typically, the second anchoring member (F) defines a number of openings (A) each adapted to receive a first anchoring member (M).

Abstract: An anchoring system for bones comprises male and female anchoring members each having proximal and distal ends, the proximal ends being adapted, when the anchoring members are installed in the bone, to be spaced from each other with the male and female anchoring members converging from the proximal ends towards the distal ends. The male and female anchoring members are adapted to be connected to each other in the bone and distally of the proximal ends via a connection mechanism generally in the form of mating threads. The male anchoring member comprises at least first and second sections provided respectively with the thread and with at least part of the connection mechanism, the first and second sections being rotatable independently of one another and being telescopically mounted together.
