Abstract:
An implant assembly may include a screw with a head having a head feature and an implant. The implant may be securable to a bone of a patient with the screw. The implant may include a bone plate, a rotatable structure having a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface may include a lock feature. The lock feature may engage the head feature when the rotatable structure is in a locked orientation and disengage the head feature when the rotatable structure is in an unlocked orientation. The rotatable structure may couple to the bone plate such that the rotatable structure is rotatable between the locked orientation and the unlocked orientation. The head feature may be one of a ridge and a radial groove and the lock feature may be the other one of the ridge and the radial groove.
