摘要：
The present invention relates to An orthopedic Implant system including an implant having a through opening with internal threads and a locking mechanism assembly to allow locking of fastener. The assembly includes a looking insert, having threads which mate with the threads of the through opening, a smooth opening that forms a torque driving recess, and an annular flange. A variable locking astener has a head portion with external threads of a harder material than that which forms the through opening of the Insert so that the threads of the fixator will deform the insert to lock the fixator in a desired position relative to the implant. The implant system further includes at least one of a fixed angle locking fastener and or a variable angle non-locking fastener and or a variable angle non-locking fastener, as well as a fastener driver that has a variable angle drive tip and a depth limiting sleeve.
