Patent ID: 10653464

Abstract:
A foot bone plate provides both fixation of two bones or bone portions and compression across their juncture. The foot bone plate has a plurality of bone screw bores positioned to receive and hold a bone screw on both sides of the two bones/bone portions (i.e. fixation), and a lateral flange positioned to receive and hold a bone screw across the foot bones/foot bone portions juncture (i.e. compression). The foot bone plate has an elongate body having a plurality of bores along its length configured to receive and hold a bone screw generally perpendicular to the foot bone plate and into the two foot bone portions. A flange is positioned at a side of the plate and includes a bore to receive and hold a bone screw. The flange and flange bore positions and holds the bone screw such that it extends through the juncture of the two bones/bone portions.
