Content
The body 406 may also include one or more fastener openings 414. Together, the arm 408, body 406, and fixation feature 416 with the respective one or more fastener openings 414 provide a surgeon with a number of options for fixing the medial bone plate 400 to the femur 102 on the medial side without a need to attempt fixation using a fastener on the medial side alongside the shaft 410 in close proximity to the large femoral artery of a patient. Different embodiments of the medial bone plate 400 can include different configurations and/or arrangements of the one or more fastener openings 414 positioned along the length of the body 406 and/or within the fixation feature(s) 416. In certain embodiments, certain parts of the body 406 and/or fixation feature(s) 416 may include no fastener openings 414 or any other openings and may instead provide a solid structure which may serve to provide desired strength, durability, and/or rigidity.
