摘要： According to some embodiments, a method of creating for creating a reverse tapered opening within tissue comprises creating a cylindrical opening within a targeted anatomical site of a subject using a first device and removing additional tissue from the sidewalls of the cylindrical opening using a cutting member to create a reverse tapered opening within the targeted anatomical site using a second device, wherein, once the reverse tapered opening is created, a diameter or other cross-sectional dimension of a bottom surface of the opening is larger than a diameter or other cross-sectional dimension of a top surface of the opening.
