Content
As illustrated in FIG. 1A, a locking mechanism 110 of the present disclosure may be incorporated into an implant assembly 100. However, in alternative embodiments, a locking mechanism 110 according to the present disclosure may be incorporated into any of a wide variety of implants, including but not limited to bone plates, spacers, fusion cages, arthroplasty implants, intramedullary implants, and the like. The locking mechanism 110 may be used to keep the bone screws 104 in their proper positions relative to the bones 102, overcoming the tendency of the bone screws 104 to loosen and withdraw from the bones 102 over time.
