Paragraph Number

84

The leg length 127 may be close to the bone thickness along the insertion axis 102. The legs may be the same length or different lengths and they may be staggered at one or both ends. In the illustrative example of FIGS. 1-9, the leg lengths are different and the legs are level at the proximal end but staggered at the distal end. For use in foot surgery, the leg lengths may be in the range of 10-50 mm and, in one embodiment, in the range of 14-32 mm. For use at other locations, the leg length may be outside of these ranges and can be, for example, quite long in large implants for applications such as tibial osteotomies.
