"Bone Wedge" refers to a geometric shape of one or more bones characterized by having two flat, planar, and/or inclined sides or surfaces that converge to form an edge. A bone wedge resembles a triangular prism, with one end wider or thicker than the other. In certain implementations, the edge formed by the two converging sides is within a bone or set of bones from which the bone wedge is formed. In other implementations, the edge formed by the two converging sides is outside of a bone or set of bones from which the bone wedge is formed.
