Modular Plate Tip for Prophylactic Neck Fixation

Abstract

An extension plate, attachable to a bone plate and a bone, includes a body having a connection portion connectable to a bone plate and an anchoring portion attachable to a bone. The connection portion has a top surface configured to face away from a bone and a bottom surface configured to face toward the bone. The bottom surface of the connection portion has a first shelf extending substantially perpendicular from the bottom surface at a first side of the bottom surface and a second shelf extending substantially perpendicular from the bottom surface at a second side of the bottom surface. The second shelf includes a rail extending toward the first shelf, such that the second shelf defines an undercut between the rail and the bottom surface.
