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 1):
A system capable of fixating bones or bone fragments comprising:\n an orthopedic plate having a top surface and a bottom surface and a first bore extending from an aperture at the top surface to an aperture at the bottom surface, wherein the inner surface of the first bore comprises threads; a peg extending along a first longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end and comprising a first portion rotatably connected to a second portion, wherein the outer surface of the first portion comprises screw threads capable of mating with the threads of the first bore, and wherein the second portion of the peg comprises a first transverse bore extending along a bore axis transverse to the longitudinal axis, wherein the inner surface of the first transverse bore comprises threads; a compression screw extending from a first end to a second end, said compression screw comprising a head at the first end and a shaft extending from the head to the second end wherein the outer surface of said shaft comprises screw threads that mate with the screw threads of the first transverse bore.
