It is often the case that screws cannot be firmly anchored in small, marginal joint fragments. This is especially relevant in osteoporotic bone. By redesigning the last plate hole of a one-third tubular plate to function as a hook, these bone fragments can be securely grasped and stabilized. Placing two plates on top of one another further improves mechanical strength.
