ABSTRACT:
A fixation assembly is described comprising at least two plates, one of which may be a contoured plate and one of which may be a securing plate. The contoured plate may have a plurality of teeth, and the securing plate may have a resilient securing element. The teeth may be arranged so that the resilient securing element encounters progressive resistance as the plates are compressed.
