Abstract
In various embodiments, a surgical plate includes a body extending between a first planar surface and a second planar surface. The body is configured to couple to a first bone. The first planar surface is configured to couple to a first articulation surface. An anterior articulation portion is coupled to the body. The anterior articulation portion includes a third planar surface extending perpendicular to the first and second planar surfaces and a second articulation surface spaced apart from and coupled to the third planar surface. The second articulation surface is configured to articulate with respect to a second bone.

A surgical plate, comprising:
- a body extending between a first planar surface and a second planar surface, the body configured to couple to a first bone, wherein the first planar surface is configured to couple to a first articulation surface;
- and
- an anterior articulation portion coupled to the body, the anterior articulation portion comprising a third planar surface extending perpendicular to the first and second planar surfaces and a second articulation surface spaced apart from and coupled to the third planar surface, the second articulation surface configured to articulate with respect to a second bone.
A surgical kit, comprising:
- a surgical plate, comprising:
- a body extending between a first planar surface and a second planar surface, the body configured to couple to a first bone, wherein the first planar surface is configured to couple to a first articulation surface;
- and
- an anterior articulation portion coupled to the body, the anterior articulation portion comprising a third planar surface extending perpendicular to the first and second planar surfaces and a second articulation surface spaced apart from and coupled to the third planar surface, the second articulation surface configured to articulate with respect to a second bone;
- and
- a bearing element having a bearing surface configured to articulate with respect to the second articulation surface of the surgical plate, wherein the bearing element is configured to be coupled to a second bone.
A method of resurfacing a bone, comprising:
- resecting an anterior portion of a first bone;
- coupling a surgical plate to the first bone, the surgical plate having a body extending between a first planar surface and a second planar surface and configured to couple to a first bone, and an anterior articulation portion coupled to the body comprising a third planar surface extending perpendicular to the first and second planar surfaces and anterior articulation surface spaced apart from and coupled to the third planar surface, and wherein the anterior articulation surface is configured to articulate with respect to a second bone.
