Abstract:
A plate for securing two bone segments in a tibial plateau levelling osteotomy procedure having a body with an elongate distal portion and a proximal portion extending laterally and a plurality of apertures for receiving fixing means wherein at least two of the apertures are adapted to receive fixing means and at least one of the said apertures is adapted to receive a removable plug which extends proud of the bone-facing surface. One of the apertures has a camming surface configured such that upon insertion of the fixing means the bone fragments are urged together thereby promoting healing without deleterious compression of the surface of the bone.
