Abstract: An acromial plate for use with an acromion, comprising: an acromial support structure having a superior surface, inferior surface, and a posterior edge, the superior surface of the acromial support structure conforming to the inferior surface of the acromion and having at least one screw hole therethrough for receiving a screw, the trajectory of the screw hole therethrough the acromion; an extension having at least one screw hole therethrough for receiving a screw therethrough, the extension extending along at least one surface of the clavicle, the trajectory of the screw hole oriented to project therethrough a clavicle, whereby the acromial support structure buttresses the acromion.

Abstract: A method of promoting healing of a fracture of a bone, comprising: fixing a fracture plate to the bone, wherein the fracture plate comprises: an upper section having at least one screw hole for receiving an upper screw; an middle section having a plurality of screw holes for receiving a plurality of middle screws, the screw holes therethrough the middle section having an oblique trajectory relative to the trajectory of the screw hole of the upper section; and, a lower section having at least one screw hole for receiving a lower screw, the trajectory of the screw hole having an oblique trajectory relative to the trajectory of the screw holes of the middle section.

Abstract: A proximal humerus fracture plate for promoting healing of a fracture of a human humerus, comprising: an upper section having at least one screw hole for receiving an upper screw, the trajectory of the screw hole is a lateral to medial orientation; a transitional section having at least one screw hole for receiving a middle screw, the transitional section integral with the upper section and curved sufficiently to avoid a deltoid tuberosity, the middle screw fixing the transitional section along a lateral cortex of the humerus; and, a lower section having at least one screw hole for receiving a lower screw, the trajectory of the screw hole is an anterior to posterior orientation, the lower section integral with the transitional section.
