Compressive distal humerus plating system

A system for compressing a fracture, the system comprising:

• a first bone plate having a first proximal end and a first distal end;
• a second bone plate having a second proximal end and a second distal end;
• a first bone fastener coupled to one of the first bone plate and the second bone plate, the first bone fastener having a bore transverse to an axis of the first bone fastener;
• and
• a second bone fastener coupled to the other of the first bone plate and the second bone plate such that the second bone fastener passes through the bore of the first bone fastener.
