axis 4 and a shaft 6 shaft 6 defines a plurality of through bores 8 along a proximal portion 9 and includes off set eyelets 10 along a distal portion 11 fusion plate 2 may be constructed from biocompatible materials such as for example titanium alloys of titanium stainless steel resorbable materials such as polymers and allograft although one of ordinary skill in the art will know and appreciate that any biocompatible material may be used plurality of through bores 8 each define a central axis 12 and are configured to receive a bone anchor often in the form of a bone screw 13 fig5 typically the interior surfaces of shaft 6 that define a through bore 8 include a threaded portion 15 of course other types of bone anchors known to one of ordinary skill in the art such as blades nails pins etc may be used to achieve adequate results often bone screw 13 may be constructed from for example titanium alloys of titanium stainless steel resorbable materials such as polymers allograft or other biocompatible materials known in the art bone screw 13 is preferably compatible with fusion plate 2 in terms of composition and strength bone screw 13 may be cannulated having a through bore or channel not shown extending from the upper surface of its head to the tip for introducing instruments for example a guide wire into the joint line the engagement of.
