- and
- wherein the engagement channel comprises:
- a plurality of locking grooves recessed into the engagement channel, and wherein at least a portion of the plurality of locking grooves intersects with the at least one transverse bore of the first member;
- and
- a second member comprising:
- an engagement member extending away from a top surface and along a second direction that extends from a first end to a second end, wherein said engagement member is received within the engagement channel;
- at least one transverse bore extending into the second member from at least one of a first side and a second side of the second member;
- and
- wherein the first member is translatable relative to the second member along a longitudinal axis of the trial insert.
