FRACTURE PLATE AND METHOD FOR FIXATION OF SAME TO A BONE SHAFT

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide bone plates with an upper surface, a lower surface, and a longitudinal plate portion for fixation to a bone shaft. A longitudinal plate portion may have three or more non- collinear holes for locking screws, whereby the axis of at least one hole may be angled relative to the axis of another hole to improve the torsional strength of the plate-bone construct.
