Active Settling Plate and Method of Use

摘要

Disclosed are certain embodiments of a bone plate system which use a first plate member with a plurality of bone screw holes and a receiving segment with a longitudinal portal. A second plate member may have a plurality of bone screw holes and a slider segment dimensioned to fit within the longitudinal portal of the first plate member. A first and second compression biasing members may extend generally parallel to the first and second plate members and may be laterally spaced apart from the receiving segment and the slider segment. The first and second compression biasing members may be integral with the first and second plate members so as to form a unitary member.
