The implant 1860 may be made of any biocompatible material, including but not limited to Titanium and alloys thereof, stainless steel, PEEK, and/or the like. The implant 1860 may be formed by any method known in the art, including but not limited to forging, casting, milling, additive manufacturing, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the implant 1860 may have an interior void that can be filled with bone graft or other material designed to promote boney in-growth between the cut surfaces of the first bone segment 1840 and the second bone segment 1842. In alternative embodiments, the implant 1860 may have a mesh and/or lattice structure that facilitates such boney in-growth, which structure may be formed via additive manufacturing.
