DYNAMIC BONE PLATE COMPRESSION DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

A dynamic bone plate and method of bone compression are disclosed. The dynamic bone plate comprises a first bone plate component including at least one hole for receiving screws for attachment to a first bone segment and a male component and a second bone plate component including at least one hole for receiving screws for attachment to a second bone segment and a female component for mating with the male component. The male component is adjustable after mating with the female component to adjust a position of the first bone plate component with respect to the second bone plate component and the male component is locked into place with respect to the female component by at least one screw inserted through the at least one hole of the second bone plate component causing compression between the first and second bone segments to form a corrective construct.
