Abstract
A method of bone fixation includes placing a bone plate adjacent to a lesser trochanter on a medial aspect of a femur such that at least a portion of the lesser trochanter is positioned between appendages of the bone plate, wrapping cables coupled to the bone plate about a first and second bone fragment of a proximal femur, and tightening the cables to secure the first and second bone fragments together.
