Disclosed herein are a reversible bone plate template and a method for using the same to size an implant. The bone plate template may include first and second portions. The second portion may be wider than the first portion and asymmetrical about a longitudinal axis. A section between the first and second portions may allow the second portion to be moved between first and second positions such that either a first or a second surface may be a bone contacting surface. A method for sizing an implant with a bone plate template may include determining whether a first or second surface is to be placed on bone, moving a portion of the bone plate template, placing it on bone and selecting an implant based upon the bone plate template.

A drill guide for drilling bone comprising a housing having a bore running through the housing is disclosed. In one embodiment, the drill guide may comprise a locking member coupled to the housing that is adapted to engage with a locking portion of a drill bit to lock the drill bit axially within the housing. The locking member may also be adapted to disengage with the drill bit to allow the drill bit to move within the bore of the housing and be inserted into bone. A movable guide may also be provided with the drill guide, such movable guide including a bore for receiving a portion of the drill bit and allowing the same to move axially within the housing. Methods of using the aforementioned drill guide are also disclosed.

A surgical reduction clamp has a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm movable relative to the first clamping arm. The first clamping arm comprises a base portion, a tip portion, a joint movably coupling the tip portion to the base portion, and a locking member adapted to lock the joint so as to fasten a position of the tip portion relative to the base portion. The joint is a revolute joint having a spherical portion which can be locked into position by a clamping force.

Surgical reduction clamp

A bone plate for fixing bone fragments to bone is provided. The bone plate comprises an elongated body portion as well as a hook portion. The elongated body portion comprises an attachment opening configured to receive an attachment element for attaching the bone plate to bone. The hook portion extends from an end of the body portion and comprises one or more hooks configured to grasp a bone fragment. Additionally, at least one guiding opening is provided in the hook portion to receive an elongated guiding member for guiding the bone plate towards the bone fragment.
