Disclosed is an implant apparatus for interfacing with a bone structure, which includes an implant configured to interface with human bone tissue where the implant is configured to be placed in a channel formed in a sacrum bone of the subject; and an opening formed longitudinally through the implant. A fastener is configured to be inserted through the subject's sacrum bone and into the opening of the implant where a distal end of the fastener purchases in bone tissue. Further, a locking mechanism is configured to be coupled to a proximal end of the fastener where the locking mechanism secures the proximal end of the fastener to the implant. |
