Figures 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E, 6F, and 6G are front view, rear view, distal end view, proximal end view, left side view, and right side view respectively of the lateral bone plate of FIG. 6A, according to one embodiment. The lateral bone plate 600 can include a plurality of fastener openings 618. The plurality of fastener openings 618 may be positioned at a variety of locations along a length of the lateral bone plate 600, including on, or within, one or more extenders (e.g., proximal extender 614 and/or distal extender 616). Alternatively, or in addition, the plurality of fastener openings 618 may be included in one or more of the connectors (e.g., first connector 610 and/or second connector 612). The figures include multiple examples of one or more fastener openings 618, not all of which are identified with a reference numeral to aide in readability of the figures. In addition, a user may include one or more fasteners along a length of the lateral bone plate 600 with a head of the fastener impinging (i.e. pinching) the lateral bone plate 600 against a cortex of the bone.
