  • Publication number: 20250186220
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an implant configured to span a joint between a first bone and a second bone may include a proximal end configured to reside in the first bone, a distal end including threads configured to reside in the second bone distal to the first bone in response to rotation of the implant about an axis of rotation, an axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and an exterior surface extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The exterior surface may include a first recess formed therein. The first recess may include an undercut such that the first recess has a first perimeter at an exterior of the first recess, and a second perimeter, greater than the first perimeter, at an interior of the first recess, wherein the interior is closer to the axis than the exterior.
