An orthopedic fixation device (e.g., an intramedullary ('IM') nail or bone plate) including a lag screw and a compression screw, the compression screw being nested with the lag screw. In accordance with one or more features of the present disclosure, the compression screw may include a partially non-threaded medial segment, an enlarged diameter, and/or a cannulated bore. In addition, and/or alternatively, the lag screw may be provided as an integrated assembly including a lag screw and an outer sleeve to enable the lag screw to telescope or slide relative to the outer sleeve and IM nail.

Periprosthetic bone plates are disclosed including, for example, a periprosthetic distal femur plate. In use, the bone plate is configured for use in periprosthetic fractures. That is, the bone plate includes one or more features to facilitate positioning and securement of the bone plate to a patient's bone that previously received a surgically implanted orthopedic implant such as, for example, an intramedullary nail, a hip prosthesis, a knee prosthesis, etc. In use, the one or more features are designed and configured to facilitate avoidance of the previous surgically implanted orthopedic implant. In addition, the bone plate is configured to facilitate percutaneous insertion of the bone plate against the patient's bone while minimizing soft tissue irritation. In addition, and/or alternatively, the bone plate is configured to provide improved contouring to facilitate better positioning of the bone plate against the patient's bone (e.g., better contouring adjacent patient's greater trochanter).
