21 . A bone fixation system, comprising:
a body including first and second sides that are disposed in an angled relationship to one another and a third side extending between the first and second sides, wherein the first side, the second side, and the third side define a triangular wedge shape, the body defining a channel extending from the first side into the body to receive a stem of a total joint replacement; and
a fixation plate including a substantially planar first side, wherein the fixation plate defines at least two openings sized and configured to receive a fastener.
22 . The bone fixation system of claim 21 , further comprising first and second fasteners each configured to be received within one of the at least two openings defined by the fixation plate.
23 . The bone fixation system of claim 21 , wherein the third side of the body defines an opening that extends into the body and the fixation plate includes a protrusion extending from an approximate middle of a second side that is disposed opposite the first side of the fixation plate, wherein the protrusion has a complementary shape to the opening defined by the third side of the body, and wherein the protrusion is sized and configured to maintain the fixation plate in a fixed position with respect to the body.
24 . The bone fixation system of claim 23 , wherein the protrusion includes:
first, second, third, and fourth sides each extending from the second side of the fixation plate at an angle; and
a fifth side coupled to each of the first, second, third, and fourth sides of the protrusion and defining a plane that is disposed at a distance from and parallel to a plane defined by the first side of the fixation plate.
25 . The bone fixation system of claim 24 , wherein the fixation plate is formed from a first material and the body is formed from a second material that is different from the first material.
26 . The bone fixation system of claim 24 , wherein the angle is a right angle.
27 . The bone fixation system of claim 21 , further comprising a fixation pin extending longitudinally, wherein the fixation pin is configured to be received within the channel defined by the body.
28 . The bone fixation system of claim 27 , wherein the fixation pin comprises an external threading and the channel defines a complimentary internal threading.
29 . The bone fixation system of claim 27 , wherein the fixation pin comprises a stem of a total joint replacement component.
30 . The bone fixation system of claim 27 , wherein the channel extends from the first side of the body to the second side of the body.
31 . The bone fixation system of claim 21 , wherein the channel defines a central axis and wherein the central axis is parallel to the third side.
32 . A bone fixation system, comprising:
a body including first and second sides that are disposed in an angled relationship to one another and a third side extending between the first and second sides, wherein the first side, the second side, and the third side define a triangular wedge shape, the body defining a channel extending from the first side into the body to receive a stem of a total joint replacement; and
a fixation pin extending longitudinally, wherein the fixation pin is configured to be received within the channel defined by the body.
33 . The bone fixation system of claim 32 , wherein the fixation pin comprises an external threading and the channel defines a complimentary internal threading.
34 . The bone fixation system of claim 32 , wherein the fixation pin comprises a stem of a total joint replacement component.
35 . The bone fixation system of claim 32 , wherein the channel extends from the first side of the body to the second side of the body.
36 . The bone fixation system of claim 32 , wherein the channel defines a central axis and wherein the central axis is parallel to the third side.
37 . The bone fixation system of claim 32 , further comprising:
a fixation plate including a substantially planar first side, wherein the fixation plate defines at least two openings sized and configured to receive a fastener; and
first and second fasteners each configured to be received within one of the at least two openings defined by the fixation plate.
38 . A bone fixation system, comprising:
a body including first and second sides that are disposed in an angled relationship to one another and a third side extending between the first and second sides, wherein the first side, the second side, and the third side define a triangular wedge shape, the body defining a channel extending from the first side into the body to receive a stem of a total joint replacement;
a fixation pin comprising a stem of a total joint replacement component, wherein the fixation pin is configured to be received within the channel defined by the body;
a fixation plate including a substantially planar first side, wherein the fixation plate defines at least two openings sized and configured to receive a fastener; and
first and second fasteners each configured to be received within one of the at least two openings defined by the fixation plate.
39 . The bone fixation system of claim 38 , wherein the third side of the body defines an opening that extends into the body and the fixation plate includes a protrusion extending from an approximate middle of a second side that is disposed opposite the first side of the fixation plate, wherein the protrusion has a complementary shape to the opening defined by the third side of the body, and wherein the protrusion is sized and configured to maintain the fixation plate in a fixed position with respect to the body.
40 . The bone fixation system of claim 38 , wherein the channel defines a central axis and wherein the central axis is parallel to the third side.
