Abstract:
1. An implant system comprising: a fastener including a proximal portion and a distal portion, the proximal portion including an inner surface that defines a first cavity that defines a first axis, the distal portion being configured for penetrating tissue and defining a longitudinal axis disposed transverse to the first axis; a connector extending between a first end and a second end configured for disposal in the first cavity, the first end of the connector including a side surface defined between a lower surface and an upper surface of the first end of the connector; and a receiver attachable to the first end of the connector and including a laterally extending arcuate arm, the side surface and the arcuate arm defining an implant cavity defining a second axis, the implant cavity being configured for disposal of an implant such that the implant engages an inner surface of the arcuate arm and the side surface, the implant cavity being rotatable about a third axis disposed transverse to the second axis such that an implant disposed in the implant cavity and lateral to the first end of the connector is rotatable in a first plane relative to the first end of the connector in a configuration for selective fixation with the first end of the connector, wherein the first end of the connector includes a first disk being disposed in a co-axial orientation with the second end of the connector and the implant, the first disk having a first splined surface, and the receiver including a second disk having a second splined surface that mates with the first splined surface.
