Summary:A bone plate for the internal fixation of one of the medial and lateral surfaces of the distal humerus comprises a rigid body portion having a distal end, a proximal end, a top surface, a bottom surface, an anterior edge and an opposing posterior edge. The body portion has a plurality of holes extending between the top and bottom surfaces, each of the holes for receiving a fastener for attachment of the bone plate to the bone. A first segment is attached to the distal end of the rigid body portion by a first deformable bridge element that is longitudinally aligned along one of the anterior and posterior edges of the rigid body portion. The first segment includes a threaded hole for receiving another fastener for attachment of the bone plate to the bone.
