An implant assembly includes a screw with a head having a head feature and an implant. The implant is securable to a bone of a patient with the screw. The implant includes a bone plate, a rotatable structure having a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface includes a lock feature. The lock feature engages the head feature when the rotatable structure is in a locked orientation and disengages the head feature when the rotatable structure is in an unlocked orientation. The rotatable structure couples to the bone plate such that the rotatable structure is rotatable between the locked orientation and the unlocked orientation. The head feature can be one of a ridge and a radial groove and the lock feature can be the other one of the ridge and the radial groove.
