Abstract
A grommet (414) for use with a surgical implant (212) comprises a base (450) and a sleeve (452). The base (450) can be positioned around a portion of the surgical implant (212). Additionally, the sleeve (452) is connected to the base (450) and extends away from the base (450). The sleeve (452) includes an inner surface (446) having a non-circular shape to inhibit relative rotation between the grommet (414) and the surgical implant (212), and an outer surface (438) that is substantially cylinder-shaped. The outer surface (438) of the sleeve (452) can taper as the sleeve (452) extends away from the base (450). Additionally, the sleeve (452) can include one or more anti-rotation features (440) that are positioned along the outer surface (438) of the sleeve (452) to inhibit rotation between the grommet (414) and the bone (20) into which the surgical implant (212) is implanted.
