Bone plates with dynamic elements and screws

A bone plate assembly to be coupled to a tissue, the bone plate assembly comprising:

• a bone plate, the bone plate comprising:
• an obverse side;
• a reverse side;
• a first fastener hole formed through the bone plate from the obverse side to the reverse side;
• a second fastener hole formed through the bone plate from the obverse side to the reverse side;
• a first draw hole formed through the bone plate from the obverse side to the reverse side, the first draw hole comprising a first wire engagement surface
• a second draw hole formed through the bone plate from the obverse side to the reverse side, the second draw hole comprising a second wire engagement surface;
• a first fastener comprising:
• a distal end insertable through the first fastener hole and into the tissue;
• and
• a proximal end retainable in the first fastener hole;
• a second fastener comprising:
• a distal end insertable through the second fastener hole and into the tissue;
• and
• a proximal end retainable in the second fastener hole;
• a first wire insertable into the first draw hole comprising:
• a distal end anchorable in the tissue;
• and
• a proximal end with a retention portion that is retainable in the first draw hole and
• a second wire insertable into the second draw hole comprising:
• a distal end anchorable in the tissue;
• and
• a proximal end with a retention portion that is retainable in the second draw hole;
• wherein proximal ends of the first draw hole and second draw hole, at the obverse side of the bone plate extend away from each other.

A method of assembling a bone plate assembly to be coupled to a tissue comprising:

• inserting a first wire into the tissue;
• passing the first wire through a first draw hole formed through a bone plate, the bone plate comprising a first fastener hole formed through the bone plate from an obverse side of the bone plate to a reverse side of the bone plate, wherein the first draw hole comprises a wire engagement surface;
• pressing the bone plate towards the tissue to exert a compressive force against the tissue;
• passing a first fastener through the first fastener hole, the first fastener comprising:
• a distal end insertable through the first fastener hole and into the tissue;
• and
• a proximal end with a retention portion retainable in the first fastener hole.
