Content
In the illustrative example of FIGS. 1-9, the body 104 has an aperture 118 extending through the body 104 between the opposed planar sides 110, 112. The aperture 118 has a length 120 and a width 122. In the illustrative example of FIGS. 1-9, the aperture length 120 is greater than the aperture width 122 and the aperture length 120 is oriented transverse to the insertion axis 102. In the illustrative example of FIGS. 1-9, the aperture length is oriented normal to the insertion axis. The inclusion of an aperture and its size and orientation may be determined by the particular application in which the fastener is to be used. For example, the aperture may receive a fixation member, such as screw 636 in FIG. 36, to provide cross fixation of the bone portions and to prevent the fastener 100 from migrating out of the bone.
