Abstract
A bone fixation device for use in fixation of a first and a second bone segment can include a first leg member, a second leg member and a lateral connecting portion. The first leg member can extend from a first originating end to a first distal end along a first longitudinal axis. The second leg member can extend from a second originating end to a second distal end along a second longitudinal axis. The lateral connecting portion can be integrally formed with the first and second leg members and connects the first and second leg members from the respective first and second originating ends. The lateral connecting portion can extend along a lateral body portion having a top portion that defines a lateral axis. At least one of the first and second longitudinal axes defines an obtuse angle with the lateral axis.
