Patent ID: 8177818

Claim:
A fixation plate comprising: first, second, and third straight sides, the first straight side having a length less than one half the length of each of the second and third straight sides; the first straight side defining a proximal end; a distal end defined by an intersection of the second and third straight sides; the second straight side extending from the proximal end to the distal end; the third straight side spaced from the second side, longer than the second straight side, and extending from the proximal end to the distal end; the second and third straight sides continuously diverging away from each other from the distal end to the proximal end defining a) a base section configured for fixation to one bone segment, the base section proximate the proximal end and b) a leg section configured for fixation to another bone segment, the leg section extending from the base section to the distal end; a first long axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end; at least two spaced elongated apertures, elongated along said first long axis, in the base section, and sharing the first long axis; and two spaced round apertures in the leg section having centers lying on said first long axis.
