Abstract:
A bone plate comprises a body including an elongated opening extending therethrough, the opening being open at a distal end of the body and including a distal portion and a proximal portion, the distal portion having a width smaller than a width of the proximal portion, the width being a dimension between two longitudinal sides of the opening extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body, the body further including an insert including a head portion and a base portion, the base portion being shaped to be slidably mounted within the proximal portion of the opening, a diameter of the base portion being larger than a width of the distal portion of the opening such that the base portion is prevented from exiting the opening through the distal portion thereof, the insert further including a central fixation element receiving hole configured to receive a bone fixation element therethrough.
