Elbow fracture fixation system

摘要

A bone plate for the internal fixation of a fractured proximal radius bone comprises a rigid body with proximal and distal ends defining a longitudinal axis, a medial edge and a lateral edge, an upper surface and a lower surface, and a first arm extending from one of the medial or lateral edges of the rigid body. The first arm includes a first ring element attached to the body by a first curved bendable bridge element. The rigid body includes first and second body holes and the first ring element includes a first ring hole, and in which each of the first and second body holes and first ring hole can receive a fastener for attaching the bone plate to the bone.
