1. An implantable lead assembly for providing electrical stimulation to a patient, the lead assembly comprising:

  • a lead body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal length;

    a plurality of terminals disposed along the proximal end of the lead body;

    an orthopedic implant coupled to the distal end of the lead body, the orthopedic implant configured and arranged for anchoring to at least one bony structure, the orthopedic implant comprisingan elongated orthopedic implant body having a top surface, an opposing bottom surface, a first end, and an opposing second end,at least one mounting region disposed along the orthopedic implant body, the at least one mounting region configured and arranged for anchoring the orthopedic implant to the at least one bony structure, andat least one stimulation region disposed along the orthopedic implant body;

    a plurality of electrodes disposed along the at least one stimulation region; and

    a plurality of conductors extending along the lead body from the distal end to the proximal end, each of the conductors electrically coupling a one of the plurality of terminals to a different one of the plurality of electrodes so that each electrode can be independently selected to be a cathode or an anode.
