Paragraph Number

6

The body may extend between a lateral end of the joint and a medial end of the joint and the proximal arm and the distal arm are aligned and extend proximal to the lateral end of the joint. At least one of the body, the proximal arm, the distal arm, and the bone engagement surface of the inferior side of the body is configured to engage a dorsal surface of one or more of the first bone and the second bone. The first alignment feature and second alignment feature are configured to couple with an active compression instrument that compresses the first bone and the second bone for deployment of fasteners that connect the first bone and the second bone. The lateral side of the body may include a lateral superior surface and a lateral inferior surface that meet at a lateral edge, the lateral inferior surface angled to connect the inferior side of the body and the lateral edge such that the lateral inferior surface does not impinge upon soft tissue near the joint.
