Paragraph Number

4

To achieve the foregoing, and in accordance with the disclosure as embodied and broadly described herein, an implant assembly may be provided. One general aspect of the implant assembly can include a screw that may also include a head which may include a head feature which may include one of a ridge and a radial groove. The implant assembly may also include an implant securable to a bone of a patient with the screw. The implant may include: a bone plate that may have a screw opening sized to receive the screw. The implant may also include a rotatable structure coupled to the bone plate such that the rotatable structure is rotatable between a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation, the rotatable structure may include: a top surface; a bottom surface that may include a lock feature that may include the other of the ridge and the radial groove. The implant assembly may also include where the lock feature is positioned such that: with the rotatable structure in the locked orientation, the lock feature engages the head feature, thereby restricting rotation of the screw within the screw opening; and with the rotatable structure in the unlocked orientation, the lock feature disengages from the head feature, thereby permitting rotation of the screw within the screw opening.
