Retrograde nail with bone plate

A method of using a fracture fixation system, comprising:

• drilling a first bore through a distal end of a bone into a canal of the bone;
• inserting a bone nail into the first bore, the bone nail extending from a first end to a second end, wherein the first end of the bone nail is inserted into the first bore and into the canal to be seated in a proximal end portion of the bone adjacent a proximal end of the bone opposite the distal end of the bone;
• positioning a bone plate to abut a lateral surface of the bone adjacent the proximal end portion of the bone;
• drilling a second bore into the proximal end portion of the bone;
• inserting a first bone screw through a first opening defined by the bone plate, into the second bore in the bone, and through a first opening defined by a first portion of the bone nail;
• drilling a third bore into the proximal end portion of the bone, the third bore extending along an axis spaced apart from the bone nail;
• and
• inserting a second bone screw through a second opening defined by the bone plate and into the third bore in the bone.
