Abstract
An osteotomy implant includes a first surface extending generally in a first plane and a second surface extending generally in a second plane, oblique to the first plane. The first surface has a perimeter having a first linear edge, a first curve edge connected to the first linear edge, a second linear edge connected to the first curved edge, and a second curved edge connected to the second liner edge.

An osteotomy implant comprising:
- a first surface extending generally in a first plane;
- and
- a second surface extending generally in a second plane, oblique to the first plane;

An osteotomy implant system comprising:
- a generally, wedge shaped core constructed from a partially radio translucent material, the body having a central plane extending therethrough;
- a first generally planar bone engaging surface extending at an acute angle relative to the central plane on a first side of the core;
- and
- a second generally planar bone engaging surface disposed on an opposing side of the central plane from the first generally planar bone engaging surface on a second side of the core, the second generally planar bone engaging surface extending at the acute angle relative to the central plane,
- wherein the first and second generally planar bone engaging surfaces comprise an osteoconductive structure, and
- wherein the first surface has a perimeter having a linear edge, and a curved edge connecting each end of the linear edge, the curved edge having at least four different radii of curvature.
