A device for securing fractured bone segments in place including a planar retinaculum having a series of apertures extending therethrough. The apertures are divided into three separate groups, with each group having a different diameter. The diameters range between 2.0 mm and 6.5 mm. The retinaculum has a thickness in the range of 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm. A thumb tack extends through the smallest aperture to removably secure fractured bone segments to the retinaculum. The apertures are arranged along the retinaculum in a repeating pattern. The retinaculum may be used in conjunction of a bone plate made from the same material.
