Content
Figure 1C is a front view of a rotatable structure 112, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The rotatable structure 112 includes a tube 109 that extends from the bottom surface 103. The tube 109 may be cylindrical and have a circular cross section. The tube 109 may serve to couple the rotatable structure 112 to the bone plate 108. In one embodiment, the rotatable structure 112 engages the bone plate 108 through a hole sized to accept a tube of the rotatable structure 112. In one embodiment, the tube 109 fits through the hole in the bone plate 108 in a slip fit. After the tube 109 is slip fit through the hole in the bone plate 108, the open, disconnected, end of the tube 109 may be swaged to flare the open-end outward such that the flared-out portion of the tube 109 engages the hole in the bone plate 108 and thereby retains the rotatable structure 112 within the hole.
