Bone plating system and method

A bone plate comprising:

• a body having a length defining a central longitudinal axis extending from a proximal region of the body to a distal region of the body and a width defining an extent of the bone plate transverse to the central longitudinal axis, wherein the body includes a top surface and a bone facing surface opposite the top surface;
• a helical curvature between the proximal and distal regions of the body comprising both a bend of the body along the central longitudinal axis and a twist of the body about the central longitudinal axis, wherein the distal region lies in a first plane corresponding to a plantar region of a first bone to which the bone plate is configured to be attached and the proximal region lies in a second plane offset from the first plane both along and about the longitudinal axis such that the helical curvature provides a transition from the first plane to the second plane, the second plane corresponding to a medial region of a second bone to which the bone plate is configured to be attached;
• and
• a first fixation hole in the proximal region and a second fixation hole in the distal region, wherein the first fixation hole and second fixation hole each extend through the body from the top surface to the bone facing surface.
