Abstract
A bone anchoring element comprising a shaft () for anchoring in a bone, with a plurality of barb elements () arranged in at least one helical line around the shaft axis (M) is described, wherein said barb elements are elastically movable relative to the shaft. The bone anchoring element () is easy to press into a core hole bore in a bone. The barb elements () act in a similar manner as do the threads on a conventional bone screw and thus provide for depth positioning. Moreover, the barb elements at the same time secure the bone anchoring element and prevent it from sliding-out.
