Content
In one example embodiment, the fixation plate 1204 is a lateral bone plate or a lateral modular bone plate configured to contact a lateral surface of the long bone. Alternatively, or in addition, the fixation plate 1204 may be a medial bone plate 400, an anterior bone plate, a posterior bone plate, a superior bone plate, an inferior bone plate, or the like. In one embodiment, the fixation plate 1204 can be configured to be thinner and less weight and more flexible than conventional bone plates because the fixation plate 1204 is deployed as part of a fixation system 1200 that includes another fixation device (e.g., an intramedullary nail 1202). In certain embodiments, the fixation plate 1204 is so thin and/or flexible that the fixation plate 1204 provides insufficient fixation without another fixation system or device such as an intramedullary nail 1202. Advantageously, using a more flexible fixation plate 1204 may promote, or at least not inhibit, desired bone healing in relation to one or more fractures. Alternatively, or in addition, the fixation plate 1204 may be rigid or resilient.
