A fixation assembly includes a tapered cannula, a post, and a snap ring. The snap ring is attachable to the post and the tapered cannula. The snap ring is configured to maintain the tapered cannula axially fixed in relation to the post such that the tapered cannula and the post are rotatable relative to each other.
