Abstract
An implant device, system and method can include a top structure, a bottom structure, and an intermediary structure. The bottom structure can include a helical groove structure, and the intermediary structure can include at least one pin that cooperates with the helical groove structure such that the pin and the helical groove structure guide the intermediary structure in both a rotational direction about the central axis and an axial linear direction along the central axis. The bottom structure can also include a linear groove structure configured to guide the top structure in a linear motion with respect to the bottom structure when the intermediary structure is rotated with respect to the bottom structure.
