Abstract
The invention relates to a plate () for temporarily bridging fragments of a fracture having a proximal portion (), a distal portion (), and an intermediate portion () disposed between the proximal portion () and the distal portion (). The proximal portion () has a proximal attachment zone () adapted to be applied and attached to a first tubular bone (). The distal portion () has a distal attachment zone () adapted to be applied and attached to a second tubular bone (). The intermediate portion () is adapted to bridge a joint () between the first tubular bone () and the second tubular bone () and thereby at least one further bone, in particular without attachment to the at least one further bone. The plate () has at least one curved region () between the proximal attachment zone () and the distal attachment zone (). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for treating a complex joint fracture, in which in particular such a plate can be used.
