ABSTRACT:
A fixation system includes a device having a plurality of like threaded peg holes. Two types of pegs are couplable within the peg holes. One type is multidirectional, and the shaft can be oriented at various angles relative to an axis extending through the peg hole. Another peg is directionally-fixed and limited to extension through the peg hole in a single direction; i.e., coaxial with the peg hole axis. The peg holes and both types of pegs are adapted such that either of the pegs can be received within any of the peg holes of the device.
