Bone plate system for hand fractures and other small bones
摘要
Bone plates for the internal fixation of metacarpal and phalanx fractures of the hand are structured to permit independent reconfiguration of holes extending through the plates relative to a longitudinal axis. The plates are thin, and a locking screw with a low profile head design is provided for use therewith. Plate shaping tools may be attached to a plate having pre-assembled guides while the plate is located on the bone to effect alteration of the plate shape in an effective and precise manner. The tools are designed such that a drill and K-wires can be inserted through the guides while the tools are coupled to the guides.
