Abstract: A bone plate is provided for the distal humerus, the plate having a main shank portion with one or more screw holes. The main shank portion bends to form an off-axis shank portion that is free of screw holes. The off-axis portion twists 90 degrees to form a distal shank portion. A barrel formed on the distal shank portion allows for the insertion of a bone screw. The bone plate is thus affixed in two perpendicular planes by screwing the lower shaft portion to the humeral shaft and passing the bone screw through the distal humerus into the bevelled barrel.
