A bone plate sized and shaped for fixation to a metacarpal includes a head extending from a first end to a second end and having first and second fixation element holes extending therethrough along first and second fixation element hole axes, wherein the first hole axis diverges from the second hole axis on a bone facing side of the plate, the head having a first notch on the first end centered on the central longitudinal axis, the first notch formed as a indentation on an outer wall of the bone plate sized and shaped to accommodate a collateral ligament when the plate is fixed to a metacarpal in a desired position and a shaft extending from the second end of the head to a third end along the central longitudinal axis, the shaft including an elongated fixation element hole elongated in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis.本文係關於一種經定大小及定形狀以用於固定至一掌骨的骨板，該骨板包括：一頭部，其自一第一端延伸至一第二端並具有沿第一及第二固定元件孔軸延伸穿過其中之第一及第二固定元件孔，其中該第一孔軸在該板的一面骨側(bone facing side)上與該第二孔軸分歧，該頭部在該第一端具有以該中心縱軸為中心的一第一凹口，該第一凹口經形成為該骨板之一外壁上的一凹陷，該骨板經定大小及定形狀以在該板經以一所欲位置固定至一掌骨時容納一側韌帶(collateral ligament)；以及一軸件，其從該頭部之該第二端沿該中心縱軸延伸至一第三端，該軸件包括依平行於該中心縱軸的方向伸長的一狹長固定元件孔。
