A bone stabilization device, for stabilizing an unstable bone with a stable bone, comprising: an elongated plate body comprising: a first surface facing in a first direction configured to face a lateral surface of the stable metatarsal bone; a second surface facing in a second direction; distal and proximal ends and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween; first and second sides extending between the distal and proximal ends; and two buttress wings, each extending from one of the first and second sides at least partially along the first direction and perpendicularly from the longitudinal axis of the plate body; characterized in that the unstable bone is the first metatarsal bone, the stable bone is the second metatarsal bone, the device further comprises a dorsal loop disposed substantially centrally between the first and second sides and substantially aligned with the buttress wings, and being disposed on the second surface of the plate body, and an aperture defined by said dorsal loop, wherein said dorsal loop extends substantially along the longitudinal axis of the plate body, and the aperture defined by the dorsal loop is configured to receive cerclage material therethrough extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the plate body; and when the cerclage material is tightened the first surface of the elongate plate body is pressed firmly against the lateral surface of the second metatarsal bone and the buttress wings cover and protect the dorsal and plantar cortices of the second metatarsal bone. an elongated plate body comprising: a first surface facing in a first direction configured to face a lateral surface of the stable metatarsal bone; a second surface facing in a second direction; distal and proximal ends and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween; first and second sides extending between the distal and proximal ends; and a first surface facing in a first direction configured to face a lateral surface of the stable metatarsal bone; a second surface facing in a second direction; distal and proximal ends and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween; first and second sides extending between the distal and proximal ends; and two buttress wings, each extending from one of the first and second sides at least partially along the first direction and perpendicularly from the longitudinal axis of the plate body; characterized in that the unstable bone is the first metatarsal bone, the stable bone is the second metatarsal bone, the device further comprises a dorsal loop disposed substantially centrally between the first and second sides and substantially aligned with the buttress wings, and being disposed on the second surface of the plate body, and an aperture defined by said dorsal loop, wherein said dorsal loop extends substantially along the longitudinal axis of the plate body, and the aperture defined by the dorsal loop is configured to receive cerclage material therethrough extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the plate body; and when the cerclage material is tightened the first surface of the elongate plate body is pressed firmly against the lateral surface of the second metatarsal bone and the buttress wings cover and protect the dorsal and plantar cortices of the second metatarsal bone.
