Content
Figure 13 is a perspective view of a fixation system 1200 that includes a fixation plate 1204, such as a lateral bone plate, and an intramedullary nail 1202 both deployed on and within a long bone, according to one embodiment. In certain embodiments, the flexible fixation plate 1204 and intramedullary nail 1202 can be deployed on a long bone that includes a prosthesis such as a knee prosthesis, a hip prosthesis, and/or one or more fixation prosthesis. Alternatively, or in addition, the flexible fixation plate 1204 and intramedullary nail 1202 can be deployed on a long bone that has no prosthesis (i.e., a native long bone, no joint or fixation prostheses). Figure 13 illustrates that while one or more fasteners 1218 can be used to secure the intramedullary nail 1202 to the bone and/or the fixation plate 1204 to the bone, one or more fasteners 1218 can also be used to secure the fixation plate 1204 to the intramedullary nail 1202 (see fasteners 1218a). In one embodiment, a fastener can be driven through fastener openings 618 tap its own opening in an intramedullary nail 1202 made of a material that accepts penetration by the fastener.
