Abstract
An assembly for reducing a fracture between an epiphysis and a diaphysis of a bone has a bone plate having a fan-shaped outer end formed with a plurality of outer holes and a bar-shaped inner end extending along a longitudinal axis from the outer end and formed with a plurality of inner holes. The plate further is formed on the bar-shaped inner end with a longitudinally extending through going guide slot and between the guide slot and the outer holes with an aperture. A slide has a longitudinally extending leg with an inner end formed with a guide formation engaged into and longitudinally slidable along the guide slot and a crosspiece overlying the aperture and engaging the bone plate to both transverse sides of the aperture. The crosspiece is formed with a transversely elongated slide slot, and a slide screw engaged through the slide.

13. A method of reducing a bone fracture comprising:
-
fastening a plate to a first bone part; placing a slide against the plate such that a pin of the slide is received within a plate slot defined by the plate; positioning a fastener within a slide slot defined by the slide and within an aperture defined by the plate; and setting the fastener into a second bone part to press the slide against the plate and to press the plate against the second bone part. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
