(canceled)
A bone repair device comprising:
- a plate including a partial loop extending therefrom;
- and
- a flexible structure including a plurality of overlapping segment geometries, the flexible structure being directly attached to and extending from the plate.
A bone repair device comprising:
- a plate including opposing top and bottom surfaces and a channel extending across and through the plate, the channel intersecting a first side of the plate extending between the top and bottom surfaces, wherein the channel is open at its ends;
- and
- a flexible structure including a plurality of overlapping segment geometries attached to and extending from the plate.
A bone repair device comprising:
- a plate including opposing top and bottom surfaces and a plurality of channels extending through the plate, the plurality of channels intersecting a first side of the plate extending between the top and bottom surfaces, wherein at least one of the plurality of channels is open at its ends and extends across the plate at an oblique angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the plate, the plate further defining a plurality of screw holes;
- and
- a flexible structure including a plurality of overlapping segment geometries attached to and extending from the plate.
