• a draw bar insertable into said aperture of said hinged end having a centrally disposed threaded receptacle for receipt of a draw screw;
• a plate having a top wall, a bottom wall, and two side walls with a front surface and a back surface defining a width therebetween for support of a frame element, said plate having a plurality of bone screw receptacles and a strut for maintaining a draw screw for engaging said draw bar, said plate including first and second expansion tabs;
