Content
In one embodiment, the proximal extender 614 may also include a slot 630 that passes through the proximal extender part 624. The slot 630 may serve to accept a fastener that secures the proximal extender part 624 to a corresponding proximal plate part 620 when the lateral bone plate 600 and proximal extender 614 are deployed together. In one embodiment, the proximal extender 614 and proximal plate part 620 can be secured to each other through the slot 630 and a set screw (see FIG. 14A) that may engage threads of a fastener opening in the proximal plate part 620. Advantageously, the slot 630 enables an operator to position the proximal extender 614 relative to the lateral bone plate 600 at an almost infinite number of positions along the slot 630. In this manner, a user can adapt a particular lateral bone plate 600 and proximal extender 614 to particular needs of a patient and/or a fixation scenario.
