Abstract

Claims (13)

1. An implant comprising:

a body portion;

a first arm having a first length extending away from the body portion in a first direction along a first axis toward a proximal end of the implant;

a second arm having a second length extending away from the body portion in a second direction along the first axis, wherein the first direction is opposite the second direction and the first and second arms are each symmetrical about the first axis;

a third arm extending laterally away from the body portion along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis at a position between the first arm and the second arm, wherein the third arm has a third length along the second axis that is its longest dimension, and wherein the third arm is curved towards the proximal end of the implant as the third arm extends away from the body portion such that an end of the third arm points toward the proximal end, and wherein the first length is longer than each of the second and third lengths; and

an extension member extending away from a bottom surface of the third arm, wherein the extension member comprises a hole extending through the extension member in a direction substantially parallel to the first and second arms, wherein an outer surface of the extension member is rounded, wherein the extension member has a first taper in a dorsal-plantar direction and a second taper in a medial-lateral direction.

2. The implant of claim 1 , wherein the implant further comprises:

at least one first fastener hole extending through the first arm from a top surface to a bottom surface of the implant;

at least one second fastener hole extending through the second arm from the top surface to the bottom surface of the implant; and

at least one third fastener hole extending through the third arm from the top surface to the bottom surface of the implant.

3. The implant of claim 1 , wherein the implant further comprises:

a hole extending through the first arm from a top surface to a bottom surface of the implant.

4. The implant of claim 3 , wherein the hole of the implant is configured to receive at least one guide wire.
