Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a staple including a first leg and a second leg connected to a bridge at a first end and a third leg and a fourth leg that are connected to the bridge in line along a central axis spanning a length of the bridge between the first leg and the second leg. In some embodiments, the first leg and the second leg are substantially parallel with one another at the first end. According to particular embodiments, the staple is configured to provide multi-planer forces as the staple attempts to return to a relaxed position from a deformed position. Such multi-planer forces may align or compress two or more bone fragments. The staple may also include a hole and/or a notch for receiving or connecting with a faster.
