A device is disclosed for treating fractures. The device may include one or both of stabilizing structure, such as a plate (150, 170), and a fastening assembly (200), such as a lag screw (202) and compression screw (204) assembly. The fastening assembly may be received to slide, in a controlled way, in the transverse aperture (118) of the structure. In some embodiments, the engaging member and the compression device are configured so that the compression device interacts with a portion of the structure and a portion of the engaging member to enable controlled movement between the first and second bone fragments. This configuration is useful for, among other things, compressing a fracture.

La présente invention a trait à un dispositif destiné au traitement de fractures. Le dispositif peut comporter un ou les deux parmi une structure de stabilisation, telle qu'une plaque (150, 170), et un ensemble de fixation (200), tel qu'un ensemble de vis tire-fond (202) et de vis de compression (204). L'ensemble de fixation peut être reçu pour glisser, de manière contrôlée, dans l'ouverture transversale (118) de la structure. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'organe d'engagement et le dispositif de compression sont conformés de sorte que le dispositif de compression réalise une interaction avec une portion de la structure et une portion de l'organe d'engagement pour permettre le mouvement contrôlé entre les premier et deuxième fragments osseux. Cette configuration est utile, entre autres, pour la compression d'une fracture.
