Abstract
An apparatus for attaching a cranial flap (20) to a skull (10) includes an attachment device (40) having relatively movable first and second members (42 and 44). The first member (40) has first and second surfaces (56 and 58) for engaging first and second kerf edges (24 and 26), respectively, of a kerf (22). The second member (44) has third and fourth surfaces (120 and 122) for engaging the first and second kerf edges (24 and 26), respectively. A shaft (46) connects the first and second members (42 and 44). The shaft (46) is attached to the second member (44) and extends through an opening (114) in the first member (42). The attachment device (40) is positionable in the kerf (22) and movable from a first condition in which the first and second members (42 and 44) are not engaged with the kerf edges (24 and 26) to a second condition in which the attachment device is wedged in the kerf between the first and third surfaces (56 and 120) and the first kerf edge (24) and between the second and fourth surfaces (58 and 122) and the second kerf edge (26)
