  • Clavicle segmental plate system
    Patent number: 11992251
    Abstract: A medial plate for treating fractures along a clavicle, comprising a plate body including a longitudinal component extending from a first end to a second end and an extension extending from the second end, the second end configured to be mounted over a medial head, a first set of variable angle holes extending through a portion of the longitudinal component including the second end of the longitudinal component and the extension, each of the first set of variable angle holes extending through the plate body along a central axis so that a bone screw is insertable therethrough at a user-selected angle relative to the central axis, and a plurality of combination holes extending through the longitudinal component, each of the plurality of combination holes includes a first portion configured to receive a bone screw at a user-selected angle and a second portion configured to receive a compression screw.
