Abstract
A construct for fusing a joint between a proximal bone and a distal bone comprises a plate body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends; a rigid joint bridge on the plate body intermediate the proximal and distal ends, the bridge separating the plate body between a proximal bone portion and a distal bone portion; a plurality of screw receiving holes extending through the proximal bone portion of the plate, the distal most pair of the holes defining a first transverse axis at an oblique angle relative the longitudinal axis; a plurality of screw receiving holes extending through the distal bone portion of the plate, the proximal most pair of the holes defining a second transverse axis at an oblique angle relative the longitudinal axis; a plurality of screws extending through the holes and attaching the plate body to the proximal and distal bones; and a joint screw traversing the joint between the first and second transverse axes.
