1. A method of assembling a neurostimulation system that is implantable in a patient to stimulate neural structures, comprising:

  • providing an implantable pulse generator;

    providing an implantable lead for transmitting an electrical stimulation pulse from the implantable pulse generator; and

    providing an electrode paddle having a plurality of separable paddle sections, wherein at least a first paddle section and a second paddle section of the plurality of separable paddle sections include a plurality of contacts;

    wherein at least two contacts of the plurality of contacts of the first paddle section are aligned along a first axis and wherein at least two contacts of the plurality of contacts of the first paddle section are aligned along a second axis, and wherein the first axis of the first paddle section is substantially perpendicular to the second axis of the first paddle section;

    wherein at least two contacts of the plurality of contacts of the second paddle section are aligned along a first axis and at least two contacts of the plurality of contacts of the second paddle section are aligned along a second axis wherein the first axis of the second paddle section is substantially perpendicular to the second axis of the second paddle section; and

    wherein the electrode paddle is electrically connected or interconnectable to the implantable pulse generator by the implantable lead.
