Content
A surgeon may use the reduction anchor 1630 for a reduction by sliding the first hole 1632 over the first fastener 1602 and the second hole 1634 over the second fastener 1606. Next, the surgeon may slide the reduction anchor 1630 along the fasteners until the back surface 1640 contacts or comes in close proximity to a surface of the proximal bone fragment 224b. In embodiments that include a bone engagement surface 1680, the bone engagement surface 1680 may contact and engage the surface of the proximal bone fragment 224b. Advantageously, the bone engagement surface 1680 may be fabricated such that the bone engagement surface 1680 matches the surface of one or the other or both of the distal bone fragment 224a and the proximal bone fragment 224b when in the desired reduced position. Such a configuration can further assist a surgeon in accomplishing a desired reduction.
