Patent ID: RE40914

Claim:
An orthopaedic spatial fixation system for holding bone parts comprising a plurality of fixation plates wherein each plate includes a body portion having n holes attachment structures positioned therein, whereby said holes attachment structures are substantially positioned along an arc of α° of a circle defined by a diameter d, and the cord a chord length between adjacent holes attachment structures is substantial substantially equal to 1 and is substantially equal between all attachment structures , and d ⁢ = l ( 1 tan 2 ⁡ ( α 2 ⁢ n ) + 1 ) ) and whereby the diameter d for each plate within the system is unique, and the value for n(360/α) for each consecutive plate diameter d in the system is a multiple of 3 , and wherein at least two of the fixation plates are connected to each other by at least six substantially rigid, adjustable length struts, wherein each of the struts is disposed substantially diagonally with respect to its adjacent struts .
