A multi-purpose bone plate system comprises a set of sterile malleable bone plates, an adjustable bending and contouring tower with adjustable angulation and compression slots and a set of bone plates with angulation and compression slots positioned at pre-selected locations to aid three-dimensional shaping of the bone plate. The surgeon inserts the sterile bone plate template to surround the fractured bone and works the template to acquire the physical shape of the fractured bone, inserts the template into the tower to set the adjustable angulation and compression slots of the tower. Now a symmetrical bone plate is inserted into the tower and bent to a shape that replicates the shape of the bone plate. The three-dimensionally shaped bone plate is sterilized and is attached by screws or nails surrounding the fractured bone segment and provides support to fractured bone segments during healing of the bone.
