  • inserting a device to a desired position within a head portion of a target bone, the device including an elongated body having a lumen extending therethrough and a deploying member movably received within the lumen, the deploying member being coupled to a plurality of wires which, in an insertion configuration, are received within the lumen;

    moving the deploying member relative to the lumen to drive the wires distally out of the lumen so that the wires penetrate a portion of bone adjacent to a distal end of the elongated body to anchor the device to the target bone; and
