Abstract
In some implementations, a connection interface assembly may include a handle, a connection interface, a locking mechanism, and an implant removal tool. The handle may include a proximal end, a distal end, and a cavity including an interior surface. The distal end may define a distal end opening that is in communication with the cavity. The locking mechanism may be disposed within the cavity of the handle and may be movable between a projected position and a retracted position. The implant removal tool may include a first end and a second end. The second end may form a locking interface element. The implant removal tool may be selectively engageable with the connection interface via an engagement and disengagement between the locking mechanism and the locking interface element.
