Abstract
Bone plates for engaging bone members are described herein. The bone plates can include features that accommodate the underlying anatomy of different types of bone, such as the proximal portion of the ulna. The bone plate can receive one or more fasteners to secure the bone plate to the proximal ulna. A reverse angle fastener may be included to target the olecranon process of the proximal ulna.

An olecranon plate comprising:
- a curved head portion configured to conform to an olecranon;
- a shaft portion extending from the curved head portion and configured to extend towards a distal end of an ulna;
- an upper surface comprising the curved head portion and the shaft portion;
- a lower surface comprising the curved head portion and the shaft portion and configured to contact the ulna;
- a first sidewall extending between the upper surface and the lower surface along a first side of the olecranon plate;
- and
- a second sidewall extending between the upper surface and the lower surface along a second side of the olecranon plate,
- wherein the shaft portion is curved with a left-handed or a right-handed curvature and configured for a left ulna or a right ulna, respectfully.
