An osteotomy system with a formable bone plate having a plurality of nodes and internodes between the nodes, the nodes having holes formed therein for receiving screws or wires to be screwed or placed into a bone, the osteotomy system comprising: at least two nodes of the formable bone plate having an engagement section, and a bone plate forming apparatus including: a first clamping tool (20, 50) including two distal clamping jaws (26, 27), each having a socket that engages the engagement section of a first of the at least two of the nodes having an engagement section, said two distal clamping jaws constructed to clamp around a node which may already contain a screw; a second clamping tool (20, 50) including two distal clamping jaws (26, 27), each having a socket that engages the engagement section of a second node of the at least two of the nodes having an engagement section, said two distal clamping jaws constructed to clamp around a node which may already contain a screw, the engagement section of the second node configured to transmit at least a portion of a force applied to the second clamping tool, to the second node and to the first clamping tool, when the first clamping tool is engaged with the engagement section of the first node and the second clamping tool is engaged with the engagement section of the second node; and the formable bone plate configured such that at least one internode between the first node and the second node bends in one or more of the X, Y and Z axes when a force is applied by the second clamping tool to the second node while the first clamping tool is engaged with and holds the first node immovably. at least two nodes of the formable bone plate having an engagement section, and a bone plate forming apparatus including: a first clamping tool (20, 50) including two distal clamping jaws (26, 27), each having a socket that engages the engagement section of a first of the at least two of the nodes having an engagement section, said two distal clamping jaws constructed to clamp around a node which may already contain a screw; a second clamping tool (20, 50) including two distal clamping jaws (26, 27), each having a socket that engages the engagement section of a second node of the at least two of the nodes having an engagement section, said two distal clamping jaws constructed to clamp around a node which may already contain a screw, the engagement section of the second node configured to transmit at least a portion of a force applied to the second clamping tool, to the second node and to the first clamping tool, when the first clamping tool is engaged with the engagement section of the first node and the second clamping tool is engaged with the engagement section of the second node; and a first clamping tool (20, 50) including two distal clamping jaws (26, 27), each having a socket that engages the engagement section of a first of the at least two of the nodes having an engagement section, said two distal clamping jaws constructed to clamp around a node which may already contain a screw; a second clamping tool (20, 50) including two distal clamping jaws (26, 27), each having a socket that engages the engagement section of a second node of the at least two of the nodes having an engagement section, said two distal clamping jaws constructed to clamp around a node which may already contain a screw, the engagement section of the second node configured to transmit at least a portion of a force applied to the second clamping tool, to the second node and to the first clamping tool, when the first clamping tool is engaged with the engagement section of the first node and the second clamping tool is engaged with the engagement section of the second node; and the formable bone plate configured such that at least one internode between the first node and the second node bends in one or more of the X, Y and Z axes when a force is applied by the second clamping tool to the second node while the first clamping tool is engaged with and holds the first node immovably.
