Content
Those of skill in the art will recognize that a variety of different connector designs may be used for one or more of the connectors. Each of these designs is within the scope of the present disclosure. In the illustrated embodiment, the first connector 610 and second connector 612 are configured such that the parts of the lateral bone plate 600 slidably engage with the corresponding part of the extender (e.g., proximal extender 614 / distal extender 616). In certain embodiments, the connectors are configured such that the extenders can be positioned at various positions longitudinally along the lateral surface of the long bone, (e.g., femur 102). Figure 7 illustrates extenders that include a plurality of fastening positions 628 within a slot of each of the extenders.
