Abstract: A bone fixation system includes a first plate including a plate body and a connection portion extending distally therefrom, the connection portion including a positioning tab at a distal end thereof, the connection portion including a first opening extending therethrough and a ramped part, and a second plate including a coupling aperture along a proximal portion thereof, the coupling aperture configured to receive the positioning tab therein, the coupling aperture including a ramped proximal face configured to abut against the ramped part of the second surface of the positioning tab when the positioning tab is inserted into the coupling aperture, the head portion including a second opening extending therethrough. A connection screw configured to extend through the first opening and the second opening to couple the first and second plates together. Tightening the screw translates the ramped proximal face along the ramped part, eliminating a connection gap therebetween.
