Abstract
A bone plate includes a pair of lobed portions and a central linking portion extending between the pair of lobed portions. The pair of lobed portions each include a through-hole extending from an upper surface to a lower surface and configured to receive a fastener. Each of the lobed portions has a cross-sectional thickness, in a plane extending along a longitudinal length of the bone plate and between the upper and lower surfaces, that continuously decreases in a direction extending away from the central linking portion to a respective end of each lobed portion. The bone plate has a maximum thickness where each lobed portion joins the central linking portion, the maximum thickness being approximately 1.5-2.3mm. A minimum thickness of the central linking portion is approximately 1.3-1.7mm.
