Stabilization systems

A method for stabilizing a bone, said method comprising:

• providing a bone stabilization plate, the bone stabilization plate including:
• an elongate body extending from a beveled first end to a second end defining a length and extending from a first side to a second side defining a width, the elongate body comprising a top surface and an opposed bone contacting surface, the elongate body comprising a plurality of aligned screw holes with a k-wire hole disposed between each of the aligned screw holes;
• and
• an elongated mesh head connected to the second end of the elongate body, the mesh head including a plurality of rings, with each of the rings defining a screw hole, and bridge portions extending between and interconnecting the rings, the bridge portions having a reduced thickness compared to a thickness of the rings, wherein through spaces extend between respective groups of the rings,
• wherein the bridge portion between two adjacent rings comprises an elongate groove which extends perpendicular to a central axis extending through a center of the two adjacent rings,
• wherein at least one of the aligned screw holes of the elongate body is a stacked hole configured to receive a locking fastener or a non-locking fastener, each stacked hole including a textured portion, an upper conical chamfer on top of the textured portion and a lower conical chamfer below the textured portion, wherein the lower conical chamfer has a greater diameter than both the upper conical chamfer and the textured portion, and wherein the textured portion is configured to deform when a head of the locking fastener is inserted therein, thereby providing a positive lock between the locking fastener and the elongate body;
• contouring the bone stabilization plate to a desired shape;
• and
• fixating the bone stabilization plate to the bone by inserting a locking fastener or a non-locking fastener through at least some of the plurality of aligned screw holes of the elongate body and the screw holes of the mesh head.
