Paragraph Number

92

In one embodiment, the medial bone plate 400 is configured, designed, and/or engineered to account for the close proximity of the large femoral artery of a patient that runs along the medial side of the femur 102. In particular, the femoral artery sits very close to the shaft 410 of the femur 102 and is not as close to the femur 102 near the distal end 412 of the femur 102. The medial bone plate 400 is configured for percutaneous deployment through an entry point/incision on the inside of the thigh (i.e., medial side at the distal end).
