Bone plate, bone plate system, and method of using the same

A system comprising:

• a bone plate including:
• a plate body that defines a bone-facing body surface configured to face a bone and an outer body surface opposite the bone-facing body surface, wherein the bone plate defines a plurality of threaded bone anchor apertures that extend through the plate body from the outer body surface to the bone-facing body surface and are each configured to receive a respective bone anchor;
• and
• first and second tabs each including a respective flexible arm that extends from the plate body along a respective length direction to a respective head that is supported by the respective flexible arm, and a respective tab aperture that extends through the respective head and is configured to receive a respective bone anchor,
• wherein each of the flexible arms defines a respective inner bone-facing surface and a respective outer surface opposite the respective inner bone-facing surface along a thickness direction,
• wherein each of the flexible arms defines respective opposed sides that are opposite each other along a width direction, and the sides are all straight and linear, and
• wherein both of the respective opposed sides of the first flexible arm flare away from both of the respective opposed sides of the second flexible arm as they extend in a direction from the plate body to the respective head,
• an intramedullary nail configured to be inserted into medullary canal of the bone,
• wherein the intramedullary nail is configured to receive the bone anchors so as to fix the intramedullary nail to the plate body.
