Summary:The present invention relates to a series of orthopedic plates for use in repair of a clavicle. The plate has a Y-shaped profile or an X-shaped profile which includes an elongate central trunk with a complex contour and wither one or two terminal pairs of arms that have a first arm and a second arm that form differing angles and lengths relative to the trunk portion of the plate. The arms include locking screw holes where the screws converge toward each other to provide for multiplanar fixation but which do not impinge. La présente invention porte sur une série de plaques orthopédiques pour utilisation dans la réparation d'une clavicule. La plaque a un profil en forme de Y ou de X comprenant un tronc central allongé avec un contour complexe et avec une ou deux paires terminales de bras comportant un premier bras et un second bras formant des angles différents et des longueurs différentes par rapport à la partie tronc de la plaque. Les bras comprennent des trous de vis de verrouillage où les vis convergent l'une vers l'autre pour fournir une fixation multiplan mais sans impact.
