Content
The distal extender 616 may include one or more fixation features 634. The fixation feature 634 is a section of the distal extender 616 contoured and/or configured to conform to the contour of a portion of a surface of cortex bone adjacent to the distal extender 616 once the distal extender 616 is deployed on a lateral surface of a long bone (e.g., a distal end of the lateral surface of a femur 102). Consequently, the configuration, size, and shape of the fixation feature 634 may vary depending on where the distal extender 616 is installed. In one embodiment, the fixation feature 634 is contoured to engage with, and/or contact a surface of a lateral condyle of a long bone, such as a femur 102.
