In certain embodiments, the rotatable structure 112 can be made from a variety of materials including plastic (e.g., ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW). In such embodiments, a color for the rotatable structure 112 may be chosen to provide a high contrast between the rotatable structure 112 and other structures of the implant assembly 100 and/or parts of a patient’s body. In one embodiment, the rotatable structure 112 may be made of a material having a bright color and/or a high contrast color such as yellow. Using a bright color (e.g., yellow) may be advantageous and facilitate a user connecting a driver (not shown) to a drive feature 118 of the rotatable structure 112. The drive feature 118 can receive torque from the driver to rotate the rotatable structure 112 between an unlocked orientation and a locked orientation and/or vice versa.
