Abstract
A bone anchoring device includes a receiving part having a central axis, two legs defining a recess for receiving a rod, and a head receiving portion that is at least partially expandable and having an opening for inserting and pivotably holding a head of a bone anchoring element therein, and a locking ring mountable around the head receiving portion in an axial direction while a rotational orientation of the locking ring relative to the receiving part remains constant. When the locking ring is around the head receiving portion, the locking ring is rotatable around the central axis from a first rotational orientation to a second rotational orientation where a compressive force exerted by the locking ring on the head receiving portion is greater than at the first rotational orientation.
