Claims22
A surgical instrument comprising:
- an implant comprising a joining profile configured to engage a portion of a bone, the joining profile including a first leg, a second leg, and a web, wherein the first leg is connected to the web forming a first elbow and the second leg is connected to the web forming a second elbow, and the second elbow forms an angle in a range of 15 degrees to 120 degrees between the second leg and the web;
- and
- a grip comprising a first recess and a second recess, wherein the second recess forms a first pre-set breaking point and a second pre-set breaking point, wherein the first pre-set breaking point and the second pre-set breaking point are configured in a depression of the joining profile;
- wherein the first pre-set breaking point connects a first portion of the grip to a first corner of the first elbow providing a connection point between the web and the first leg of the joining profile in the depression of the joining profile;
- and
- the second pre-set breaking point connects a second portion of the grip to a second corner of the second elbow providing a connection point between the web and the second leg of the joining profile in the depression of the joining profile.
