Abstract
A bone anchor element/inserter/system for inserting into a bone and/or fixing tissue to the bone. The bone anchor element has a proximal end, a proximal section, a distal section and a distal end, and the proximal section has on the outside a contoured. On the inside a continuous hollow space in the longitudinal direction there is a proximal opening and a distal opening. The distal section has in the longitudinal direction to the distal end a first transverse through-hole through the plate plane. A first transverse through-hole and a second transverse through-hole are separated by a web. The web has on its proximal side an abutment surface where when an eyelet is pushed through from the proximal opening through the continuous hollow space of the bone anchor element, through the distal opening and through the first transverse through-hole in the longitudinal direction, the eyelet is guided outward.
