Claim:
1. A kit configured to form an implant for treating bone, the kit comprising: a core including a core body that defines a proximal end and a distal end spaced from the proximal end along a distal direction; a first sleeve having a plurality of beams that are elongate along the distal direction, a plurality of flexible struts that interconnect adjacent ones of the beams to one another, a first interior surface that defines a first internal bore, and a first exterior surface opposite the first interior surface, the first sleeve configured to be inserted over the core in the distal direction such that the first interior surface faces the core; and a second sleeve having a second interior surface that defines a second internal bore and a second exterior surface opposite the second interior surface, the second sleeve configured to be inserted in the distal direction between the first sleeve and the core such that the second exterior surface faces the first interior surface, the second interior surface faces the core, and the second sleeve causes the first sleeve to expand outwardly by extending the flexible struts of the first sleeve and moving the plurality of beams of the first sleeve away from one another.
