Abstract:
Assemblies and methods for fixation of bone or bone fragments using an orthopedic plate, a modular peg, and a compression screw. The modular peg is screwed into one of the apertures of the orthopedic plate. The modular peg may include an aperture having screw threads designed to receive the threads of the compression screw and serve as an anchor for the compression screw. By rotating the compression screw in relation to the modular peg, the compression screw may advance through the aperture of the modular peg, drawing the head of the screw toward the modular peg, and compressing the bone or bone fragments.

Claim (Index 12):
The system of  claim 11 , further comprises a first bone screw having a shaft and a head, wherein the first bone screw couples to the orthopedic plate by being inserted into the aperture at the top surface, through the second bore, and out of the aperture at the bottom surface until the exterior surface of the head of the first bone screw abuts the interior surface of the second bore at the aperture at the top surface and the threaded portion of the first bone screw extends out of the aperture at the bottom surface to engage bone or bone fragment.
