Abstract:
Described is a bone plating system and related methods. The system comprises a bone plate and a drill block to be removably attached to the bone plate. The system further comprises a first locking element and a second locking element. The first locking element is configured to be removably attached to the drill block and the bone plate by extending through one drill block hole of the drill block and into one aligned bone screw receiving hole of the bone plate. The second locking element to configured to extend from the drill block and into an opening in the bone plate in order to constrain rotational movement of the bone plate and the drill block with respect to each other when the first locking element is attached to the drill block and the bone plate.

Claim (Index 6):
A bone plating system comprising\n a drill block having a first surface for contacting a first surface of a bone plate and a second surface opposite the first surface, and at least one drill block hole extending from the first surface to the second surface of the drill block; the bone plate having the first surface for contacting the drill block, a second surface for contacting a bone, and at least two receiving holes extending from the first surface to the second surface of the bone plate, wherein one of the at least two receiving holes is alignable with the at least one drill block hole; a first locking element configured to be removably attached to the drill block and the bone plate by extending through the at least one drill block hole of the drill block and into the one of the at least two receiving holes of the bone plate that is alignable with the at least one drill block hole; and a second locking element extending from the first surface of the drill block and insertable into an opening in the first surface of the bone plate in order to constrain movement of the bone plate and the drill block with respect to each other when the first locking element is attached to the drill block and the bone plate.
