Content
Once the push feature 1160 contacts the interference member 770 (or sidewall 750) a user may next connect the coupler 1130 to a manual or powered tool and rotate the pushrod 1100 such that the external threads 1140 and internal threads 942 move past each other and move the pushrod 1100 in second direction 1180. This interaction is referred to herein as an axial force transmitting relationship in the second direction 1180. In one embodiment, the user may couple the pushrod 1100 to a manual or powered mechanism that imparts an axial force, such as a pounding force towards the distal end of the inserter 900. In such an embodiment, a user may simply pound on the pushrod 1100 with a mallet or hammer. In these embodiments, the pushrod 1100 may not include external threads 1140.
