Content
It is desirable that bone plates be as thin, short, light weight, and flexible as possible. However, bone plates with such characteristics may provide insufficient fixation of a long bone when used in isolation. Intramedullary nails may provide sufficient fixation but may have other limitations. A fixation system is needed that includes a thinner and/or more suitably flexible bone plate and an intramedullary nail that together provide the desired fixation of the long bone with a facture.
