ABSTRACT:
A bone stabilization implant comprises a single piece of material machined to include a bone plate portion having a length with a center line, a bone contact surface and an outer surface. The bone plate portion has a plurality of openings extending through the outer surface and the bone contact surface and are located at positions along the length of material. The openings are sized to receive a conventional bone screw. The outer surface is machined to include a plurality of integral bosses positioned at locations along the length. Each of the bosses has crimping surfaces and a pair of holes therethrough that are sized to receive cable. Each of the bosses is deformable to clamp cable received in the pair of holes when the crimping surfaces are crimped. The integration of the bosses with the underlying bone plate portion better facilitates handling of the implant during implantation procedures and substantially reduces the breakage and wear problems associated with prior art bone stabilization implants.
