View Edit Delete	IPP-0050-US35 nextremity	Figure 58 illustrates one example of a method 3000 for stabilizing a bone fastener that traverses a first bone portion and a second abutting bone portion. Referring to Figures 26 through 34, the method 3000 starts with a user, such as a surgeon, deploying 3002 a bone fastener within a first bone portion and a second bone portion. In one embodiment, the second bone portion abuts the first bone portion. The two bone portions may be parts of the same bone or may be parts of two different bones. In one embodiment, an implant may be used instead of one of the two bone portions. As illustrated in the figures and described above, deployment of the bone fastener may include a number of steps.	176	Added by DJM 12 2021	12/2/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	IPP-0050-US35 nextremity	In certain embodiments, the pivot member 2024 includes a lock mechanism 2030. The lock mechanism 2030 enables a user to change the superior and/or inferior orientation to a desired superior and/or desired inferior orientation and then secure the pivot member 2024 to retain the desired orientation of the cross fixation insertion axis relative to the engagement axis 412. Of course, various forms of a lock mechanism 2030 may be used. In one example embodiment, the lock mechanism 2030 may be a knob with a threaded shaft that tightens against the pivot member 2024 to create a press-fit interface within the pivot member 2024 (and/or surfaces the pivot member 2024 and surfaces of the guide body 2014) and thereby maintain a current orientation.	175	Added by DJM 12 2021	12/2/21, 12:00 AM

View Edit Delete	IPP-0050-US35 nextremity	Rotation of the pivot member 2024 may change the orientation of the fixation axis 420. In one embodiment, a user may use the pivot member 2024 to orient the cross fixation insertion axis 420 from a perpendicular orientation in relation to the engagement axis 412 to a superior orientation 2026. Alternatively, or in addition, in one embodiment, a user may use the pivot member 2024 to orient the cross fixation insertion axis 420 from a perpendicular orientation (or any superior or inferior orientation) in relation to the engagement axis 412 to an inferior orientation 2028. In this manner, a user can use the pivot member 2024 to pivot the cross fixation insertion axis 420 to any of an infinite number of superior and/or inferior orientations.	174	Added by DJM 12 2021	12/2/21, 12:00 AM
