The offset feature 2308 may also be referred to as a translation feature. The offset feature 2308 may be a structure that translates on bone or bone fragment in relation to another. In one embodiment, the offset feature 2308 can be used to translate a posterior bone fragment 2114 in relation to an anterior bone fragment 2116. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the offset feature 2308 may drive one bone fragment in one direction while the other bone fragment remains stationary, may pull one bone fragment in one direction while the other bone fragment remains stationary, may pull one bone fragment in one direction while driving the other bone fragment in another direction, may drive one bone fragment in one direction while driving the other bone fragment in another direction, may drive both bone fragments in the same direction, or the like.
