A system for bone fixation, comprising:

• a plate body sized and shaped for placement at a first target location of a bone, the plate body extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end;
• an insert received within a recess of the plate body, the insert including a first insert locking hole extending laterally through the insert along a central axis, a first plate body locking hole being aligned with the first insert locking hole and extending a distance into the plate body to terminate at a closed end within the plate body;
• a first bone fixation element including a head, a shaft and a threaded portion, the first bone fixation element being insertable through the bone to extend through the first insert locking hole into the first plate body locking hole so that the threaded portion engages a locking feature of the first plate body locking hole;
• and wherein the first target location is a medullary canal and the plate body is an intramedullary plate.
