A bone plate assembly has the screws on one plate, either distal or proximal to the fracture, placed through round holes perpendicular to long axis of a first bone thus securing the plate rigidly to the bone on one side relative to the fracture. The screw holes can be either threaded on non-threaded. On the other side of the fracture, the bone fragment is first secured with an inclined screw placed from less than 90 to 10 degrees towards the fracture. As the screw is tightened it advances away from the fracture pulling the first bone, securely attached, plate towards the fracture site and thus compressing the fracture.
