Abstract: A bone fixation assembly is disclosed. The bone fixation assembly may include a bone fixation plate including a fastener hole and a cavity adjacent to the fastener hole. The bone fixation assembly may also include a clip. The clip may include a body having a partial circular shape, the body positioned at least partially in the cavity. The clip may further include a plurality of tabs extending inward relative to the partial circular shape of the body, each tab having a convex shape extending inward relative to the partial circular shape of the body, wherein the body and the plurality of tabs are positioned below a top surface of the bone fixation plate.

Abstract: A locking clip for retaining a fastener in a bone fixation plate, the locking clip comprising a flexure member and a body member coupled to the flexure member, the body member comprising a locking tab, the locking tab configured to provide an axial limitation to motion of the fastener in a non-rotationally-ratcheting manner, the flexure member resiliently flexible to permit displacement of the locking tab to allow passage of a fastener head of the fastener, the locking tab configured to translate a downward force of the fastener head into a lateral spreading force to effect the displacement, the body member defining a clip tool engagement cavity for translational displacement of the locking tab.
