Abstract
A plating system includes a bone plate including an aperture and a longitudinal axis. A locking member is receivable in the aperture to attach the bone plate to a joint. The plating system includes a guide including a body having a first end portion and a second end portion, an attachment portion attached to the bone plate, and a translating portion including a sleeve having a sleeve longitudinal axis. The sleeve receives a drill or a guide wire. The first end portion of the body is connected to the attachment portion, and the translating portion is connected to and translates relative to the second end portion of the body along an axis to move the sleeve. The sleeve defines one of a plurality of trajectories. The axis is substantially perpendicular to the plate longitudinal axis of the bone plate and the sleeve longitudinal axis.
