The centre axis of the anchoring hole is inclined in relation to the longitudinal axis (,) of the implant. The element is provided with means (,) for cooperation with the instrument (,). The element and its means of cooperation permit application of the instrument in a way which ensures that the axis of rotation (,) of the instrument essentially coincides with a continuation of the longitudinal axis (,) of the implant.
