A bone plate includes first and second ends opposed along a longitudinal axis oriented along a longitudinal direction, first and second sides opposed along a lateral direction, and a bone-facing surface and an outer surface opposed along a transverse direction. The plate defines a first hole and a second hole arrangement extending from the outer to the bone-facing surface. The second hole arrangement is distal of the first hole, which is configured to receive a first fixation member, and the second hole arrangement is configured to receive at least one second fixation member for affixing with underlying bone. The plate is pivotable along an angulation range about the first hole. The second hole arrangement laterally crosses the longitudinal axis, defines the angulation range, and allows the at least one second fixation member to substantially secure the plate to the underlying bone at any angulation within the angulation range.
