Content
Referring to FIGS. 31 and 32, a fastener 100 is started into the bone holes 610, 612. The inserter 300 has been omitted from the figures to simplify the drawings. The outboard surfaces 148, 150 of the fastener legs are sized to match the proximal spacing of the outboard bone hole walls. Since outboard surfaces 148, 150 are parallel, they stay in contact with the proximal portion of the bone holes 610, 612 as the fastener is advanced into the bone portions. Inboard gaps 620, 622 are present between the fastener legs and the bone holes. Outboard gaps 624, 626 occur between the fastener legs and the bone holes distal of the proximal edge of the bone holes as the fastener is advanced.
