Abstract
A bone repair device includes a plate having a pathway and a flexible structure. The plate includes opposing top and bottom surfaces and a first side extending between the top and the bottom surfaces. The flexible structure is directly attached to and extends from the first side of the plate. In operation, the bone repair device is placed around and over a plurality of bone parts. The plate is secured to the plurality of bone parts with a cable inserted through the pathway and wrapped around the bone parts.
