Abstract:
A method for reconstruction of a resectioned portion of a bone includes connecting a first link to a second link through a flexible connection to form an elongated linkage that extends along a substantially longitudinal direction, providing a flexible connector configured to work in tandem with the flexible connection to adjust the first and second links relative to each other to adapt to a shape of the bone in at least one of a directional orientation about an axis that extends in the vertical direction and an angular orientation about an axis that extends in the longitudinal direction, and providing a locking member configured for insertion through the aperture, wherein the locking member is configured to apply a biasing force to the connector and inhibit adjustment of the at least one of the directional orientation and the angular orientation of the first link relative to the second link.
