Abstract
A bone augment for filling a void in a bone and providing secure fixation of an implant to the bone includes a sidewall structure having a top surface, a first end and a second end. The sidewall structure rises from a base of the bone augment. The first end of the bone augment is disposed opposite to the second end of the bone augment. An insertion aperture is disposed within the bone augment and extends from the first end of the bone augment to the second end of the bone augment. The bone augment receives a bone plate within the insertion aperture and the bone plate fixes the bone augment within the void.
