Abstract
An orthopedic fixation system includes an implant transitionable between a natural shape and an insertion shape and an implant retainer. The implant includes a plate segment, a blade segment extending from the plate segment, a transition section within the blade segment, and a retainer receiver traversing the transition section. The transition section deforms to move the implant between the natural shape and the insertion shape. The implant retainer, upon transition of the implant from the natural shape to the insertion shape, engages the implant at the retainer receiver. The implant retainer upon engagement with the implant spans the transition section such that the implant retainer constrains the implant and holds the implant in the insertion shape thereby preventing a transition of the implant from the insertion shape to the natural shape.
