Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a prosthetic implant, a tool assembly for positioning the prosthetic implant, and a method of placing a prosthetic implant. The prosthetic implant includes an anterior end and an opposite, smaller, posterior end. Left and right side portions attach the anterior end to the posterior end. Each of the left and right side portions includes serrations on the top and bottom. The serrations on the top are directed substantially opposite the direction of the serrations on the bottom. Adjacent serrations can be separated by a radius. The implant includes tooling apertures for receiving corresponding portions of a tool assembly. The tool assembly includes an inner tool and an outer tool. The inner tool can engage the implant and can seat the outer tool to the implant. The outer tool can be used to exert a rotational force to the implant to rotate the implant to a desired orientation.
