Bone fixation system including an implant having a plate portion and a mesh portion

A method of stabilizing a bone, the bone including a first bone fragment, a second bone fragment, a third bone fragment, a first defect between the first bone fragment and the second bone fragment, and a second defect between the second bone fragment and the third bone fragment, the method comprising the steps of:

• moving an implant toward the bone, the implant including a plate portion, a mesh portion, and an outer perimeter defined in part by the plate portion and in part by the mesh portion, wherein the mesh portion is a first mesh portion and the implant includes a second mesh portion separated from the first mesh portion by the plate portion;
• inserting a bone anchor through a first bone fixation hole defined by the plate portion, and into the first bone segment;
• inserting a second bone anchor through a second bone fixation hole defined by the plate portion, and into the second bone segment;
• and
• abutting the mesh portion with the third bone segment.
