    摘要: Provided herein are methods for inserting a bone fastener into a bone and securing an implant using a drilling guidewire. The method may include positioning a first bone plate having a first hole on a first side of a bone and drilling a channel through the bone from the first side of the bone to a second side of the bone using a drilling guidewire. The drilling guidewire may include a first portion having a drill unit and a second portion, the second portion extending from the second end of the first portion. Additionally, the diameter of the first portion may be greater than a diameter of the second portion. The method may further include sliding a bone fastener over the second portion of the drilling guidewire and driving the bone fastener through the first hole of the first bone plate and the channel in the bone.

    摘要: Systems for treating bone fractures are disclosed. Exemplary systems may include a backpack and one or more bone plates for engaging bone members. The backpack may be configured to be temporarily attached to the bone plate in order to provide trajectories for fasteners received by the bone plate. The bone plates can receive one or more screws to secure the bone plates to an underlying bone member. The one or more screws can be inserted into bone plate holes that can be considered locking or non-locking. The bone plates described herein can have particular combinations of locking and/or non-locking holes. Additional bone plate holes can be used to accept sutures, K-wire, or other instrumentation.
