Patent ID: 8454665

Claim:
A multi-purpose bone plate system, comprising: a. a symmetrical bone plate, bending and contouring tower and sterile malleable bone plate template; b. said sterile malleable bone plate template acquiring a three-dimensional shape of a fractured bone when deformed around an actual bone segment; c. said three-dimensionally shaped bone plate template positioned within the bending and contouring tower to set bending and contouring slot locations; d. said symmetrical bone plate having a right side and a left side separated by a narrowed arcuate region, wherein said left side of said bone plate has two conjoined symmetrical lobes without a gap/divot separating said lobes and being appointed to be bent to accommodate a left or right hand bone section and being provided with angulation and compression slots at selected locations and a central fold line to facilitate the three-dimensional shaping of the bone plate; e. said bone plate bent and twisted and contoured in said bending and contouring tower using angulation and compression slots and bending and twisting tools; f. said symmetrical bone plate being deformed by bending and twisting using said bending and contouring tower to a shape that replicates the three-dimensional shape of said bone plate template; and g. said symmetrical bone plate having six apertures to insert screws or nails to retain said three-dimensionally shaped bone plate against fractured bone segments; whereby said symmetrical bone plate is bent and twisted matching the three-dimensional shape of fractured bone providing complete support for left or right hand applications with minimal inventory of bond plates.
