Abstract
An aiming block fixation system for fixing an aiming block to a bone plate includes a bone plate having an outer surface and a bone-contacting surface for application to a bone. The aiming block has an upper surface, a lower surface engageable with the outer surface of the bone plate. A first angled aiming block bore extending from the upper surface to the lower surface along an axis which is at a non-zero degree angle to an axis of a bone plate hole. A locking element extends through the angled aiming block bore and the bone plate hole such that a central longitudinal axis of the locking element is oriented at a non-zero degree angle to the first axis, with the locking element including a radially outwardly extending camming arm selectively engageable with a camming surface of the first bone plate hole.
