Content
Figure 58 illustrates one example of a method 3000 for stabilizing a bone fastener that traverses a first bone portion and a second abutting bone portion. Referring to Figures 26 through 34, the method 3000 starts with a user, such as a surgeon, deploying 3002 a bone fastener within a first bone portion and a second bone portion. In one embodiment, the second bone portion abuts the first bone portion. The two bone portions may be parts of the same bone or may be parts of two different bones. In one embodiment, an implant may be used instead of one of the two bone portions. As illustrated in the figures and described above, deployment of the bone fastener may include a number of steps.
