Earth-boring tools including rotatable cutting elements, rotatable cutting elements, and associated components and methods

A rotatable cutting element includes a stationary portion defining a cavity with an inner wall, the inner wall extending at an angle radially away from a longitudinal axis of the stationary portion and defining a retaining region. The rotatable cutting element further includes a rotatable portion having one end thereof disposed in the cavity of the stationary portion and structure for engaging a subterranean formation at an opposing end. The rotatable cutting element also includes a retaining element extending between the rotatable portion and the stationary portion, the retaining element extending into the retaining region defined by the inner wall of the stationary portion.
