Method and apparatus for securing an object to bone |
abstract |
A surgical system comprising an object to be secured to bone, the object compπsing an opening extending there through and a sleeve/expander construction for securing the object to bone, the sleeve/expander construction compπsing a sleeve adapted for positioning through the opening in the object and into the bone, the sleeve compπsing a shank having a distal end and a proximal end and an opening extending from the distal end to the proximal end, wherein the opening narrows toward the distal end of the shank, and further wherein the distal end of the shank is slit so as to form a plurality of radially-expandable segments, and an enlarged head formed at the proximal end of the shank the enlarged head being formed so as to be radially-expandable |
