A bone plate sized and shaped for fixation to a metacarpal includes a head extending from a first end to a second end and having first and second fixation element holes extending therethrough along first and second fixation element hole axes, wherein the first hole axis diverges from the second hole axis on a bone facing side of the plate, the head having a first notch on the first end centered on the central longitudinal axis, the first notch formed as a indentation on an outer wall of the bone plate sized and shaped to accommodate a collateral ligament when the plate is fixed to a metacarpal in a desired position and a shaft extending from the second end of the head to a third end along the central longitudinal axis, the shaft including an elongated fixation element hole elongated in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis.

Metacarpal neck plate

A bone plate sized and shaped for fixation to a phalangeal bone includes a head extending from a first end to a second end and having first, second and third fixation element holes extending therethrough and arranged in a triangular configuration on the head, an outer wall of the head having a triangular shape corresponding to the triangular configuration, a bone contacting surface of the head being contoured to conform to the anatomy of a lateral surface of a phalangeal head and a shaft extending from the head, the shaft including fourth and fifth plate holes separated from one another by an elongated fixation element hole elongated in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shaft.

Phalangeal head plate

A bone plate for fixation to a phalanx includes a head extending from a first end to a second end and having first and second fixation element holes extending therethrough, a connection portion extending from the second end of the head to a third end along the central longitudinal axis, the connection portion including an oblong hole elongated in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis, and a shaft extending from the third end of the connection portion to a fourth end along the central longitudinal axis. The shaft includes third and fourth fixation element holes extending along the central longitudinal axis. The shaft includes a plurality of first projections and a plurality of second projections. The first and second projections include corresponding projection fixation element holes extending therethrough and being connected to the shaft. The first and second projections are alternatingly provided on the shaft.
