Abstract:
Systems for treating bone fractures are disclosed. Exemplary systems may include a backpack and one or more bone plates for engaging bone members. The backpack may be configured to be temporarily attached to the bone plate in order to provide trajectories for fasteners received by the bone plate. The bone plates can receive one or more screws to secure the bone plates to an underlying bone member. The one or more screws can be inserted into bone plate holes that can be considered locking or non-locking. The bone plates described herein can have particular combinations of locking and/or non-locking holes. Additional bone plate holes can be used to accept sutures, K-wire, or other instrumentation.
