A method comprising cutting a channel through a femoral neck and into a femoral head of a femur, and inserting a femoral implant within the channel such that a porous portion of the femoral implant is positioned within the femoral head and a resorbable portion of the femoral implant is positioned within the femoral neck, the porous portion being coupled to the resorbable portion and extending therefrom along a longitudinal axis of the femoral implant, the resorbable portion having a cross-sectional area defined in a plane extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the femoral implant, the cross-sectional area of the resorbable portion consisting essentially of a resorbable material.

A method of bone fixation includes placing a bone plate adjacent to a lesser trochanter on a medial aspect of a femur such that at least a portion of the lesser trochanter is positioned between appendages of the bone plate, wrapping cables coupled to the bone plate about a first and second bone fragment of a proximal femur, and tightening the cables to secure the first and second bone fragments together.
