Abstract
A method of changing a configuration of a bone by placing a bone plate and a spacing assembly in a cutting state wherein: a) the bone plate is connected to the bone and overlies a surface of the bone; and b) the spacing assembly cooperates between the bone plate and bone so as to maintain a gap region. A cutting instrument is used to cut into the bone towards the gap region and at least substantially through the bone between first and second bone portions. After cutting into the bone, the bone plate and spacing assembly are changed from the cutting state into a second state. An apparatus allows performance of the method.
