Abstract

See full text

A plug for covering an aperture in a prosthetic implant and a method for using the same. The aperture may include a screw hole designed to receive a bone screw for securing the implant to a patient's bone. When the aperture does not receive a bone screw, the plug is configured to fit within the aperture to prevent materials, such as bone debris and adhesive, from seeping through the aperture and onto a receiving surface of the implant.
