A plate for connecting a first portion of bone and a second portion of bone is disclosed. The plate comprises a central longitudinal axis, a first end portion extending along the central longitudinal axis and configured to affix to the first portion of bone, a second end portion extending along the central longitudinal axis and configured to affix to the second portion of bone, and an intermediary portion extending along the central longitudinal axis and between the first end portion and the second end portion. The intermediary portion comprises three continuous segments of material, two segments of which extend along a direction substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis, and one segment of which extends along a direction substantially perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis.
