See full text

An implant (412) that facilitates the fusion of a first bone part (14A) with a second bone part (16A) includes an implant body (444) that extends between the first bone part (14A) and the second bone part (16A). The implant body (444) includes a first section (422) that fits within a first receiving aperture (20) in the first bone part (14A), and the implant body (444) includes a second section (426) that fits within a second receiving aperture (24) in the second bone part (16A). At least one of the first section (422) and the second section (426) can be made of bone. Additionally, at least one of the first section (422) and the second section (426) can be formed to have a non-circular cross-sectional shape to inhibit relative motion between the bone parts (14A, 16A) and the implant body (444).
