Content
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.
