Claim:
A bone fixation implant comprising: an implant body that extends along a longitudinal axis between first and second opposed ends, the implant body including a plurality of interconnected resilient links that define a bone-facing surface and an opposed outer surface, the implant body further including a first edge and a second edge opposed to the first edge, the first and second edges extending 1) from the first end to the second end, and 2) from the bone-facing surface to the opposed outer surface, wherein the resilient links are configured such that the implant body is operable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, wherein the implant body includes a first segment and a second segment separated by a longitudinal fold edge, the first segment being folded over toward the second segment to define when the implant body is in the collapsed configuration, and wherein the implant body is configured to be implanted into a body cavity in the collapsed configuration and fixed to the underlying bone in the body cavity in the expanded configuration.
