Abstract
A fusion plate (10) for compressing bone material at an interface between a first bone part (929A) and a second bone part (929B) comprises (i) a first end (12) having a first thickness (464); (ii) a thickened region (250) that is spaced apart from the first end (12), the thickened region (250) having a second thickness (466) that is greater than the first thickness (464); and (iii) a compression aperture (22) that extends through the thickened region (250) at a compression angle (224) relative to a planar axis (246). The compression angle (224) can be between approximately thirty and fifty-five degrees relative to the planar axis (246). The first end (12) includes a top surface (26), and the thickened region (250) extends farther away from the bone parts (929A, 929B) than the top surface (26) when the fusion plate (10) is implanted substantially adjacent to the bone parts (929A, 929B).
