Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to bone fastening devices and more particularly to a device including ready-to-assemble plates hingedly secured together and screws for driving through the plates into a broken bone to secure the plates to the bone.

2. Description of Related Art

Conventionally, an orthopedic cast, or simply cast, is a shell, frequently made from plaster, that encases a limb to stabilize and hold anatomical structures (e.g., a broken bone) in place until healing is confirmed. As the medical technologies evolve, many doctors may use plates and screws as a replacement of the orthopedic cast for stabilize and hold the broken bone in place because the combination of plates and screws are more advantageous than the orthopedic cast in terms of bone dislocation prevention and shorter healing time.

There are a wide variety of plates for securing to a broken bone commercially available. These plates are designed based on bones in different portions of the body. However, lengths of bones of one person are different from that of another person. Thus, many different sizes of the plate are available even for a single type of plate. This means a hospital has to buy and store a wide variety of plates. Inevitably, it bears a great financial burden on the hospital.

Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
