摘要:
A bone plating system comprising: a plate, where the plate is low-profile and capable of contouring to a bone a variable number of screw holes, locking or non-locking at least one channel or tunnel through the plate and at least one flexible device passing through the channel or tunnel and passing through soft tissue attached to the bone. The low profile plate, in combination with the flexible device passing through the surrounding soft tissue, functions as a tension band and acts to neutralize the muscle forces tending to pull the bone apart at a fracture. The low profile tension band plating system is targeted for periarticular tensile fractures for repair of the olecranon.
