ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a multi-configurable plating system for use in osteosynthesis and a method therefore. The multi-configurable plating system includes a multi-configurable plate formed from a plurality of annular mounting tabs linked together by a plurality of linking members. The plurality of annular mounting tabs and the plurality of linking members form a separable straight plate, a separable L-shaped plate and a separable T-shaped plate. The separable straight plate is connected to the multi-configurable plate by no more than two linking members. The separable L-shaped plate is connected to the multi-configurable plate by no more than two linking members. The separable T-shaped plate is connected to the multi-configurable plate by no more than three linking members. This enables a user to easily separate the separable straight plate, the separable L-shaped plate and the separable T-shaped plate from the multi-configurable plate by cutting along the appropriate linking members.
