Abstract
A suture crimp plate includes a body including a first bone-facing surface and a second opposing surface; a central hole extending through the body from the first surface to the second surface and sized and shaped to receive a bone fixation device; and a first suture hole extending through the body from the first surface to the second surface and sized and shaped to receive a suture therethrough. The first suture hole is open to the central hole via a first slot, a first deformable member being formed between the first suture hole and the central hole. When a bone fixation element is inserted into the central hole, the first deformable member is configured to be deflected away from a central longitudinal axis of the central hole and into the first suture hole to clamp the suture therein relative to the crimp plate.
