Embodiment Construction
[0052] see figure 1 , which shows an embodiment of a proximal humerus fracture fixation system 510 according to the present invention. System 510 includes a humerus plate 512 having one or more post holes 536 in its head portion 534 and a plurality of screw holes 532 along its shaft portion 530 . Each post hole 536 is provided with a tubular post 514 . see figure 1 with figure 2 , post 514 includes a pair of arms 560 rotatably connected about axes 561 adjacent to distal end 562 of post 514 . Embodiments with three or more arms may also be provided. Each arm 560 includes a cam follower surface 564 substantially adjacent its axis of rotation 561 . Such as figure 1 As shown and described below, when cam follower surface 564 is subjected to forces in the distal and lateral directions, arm 560 moves into a radially open configuration. Column 514 includes a window 566 to allow the arm 560 to be in the closed position ( figure 2 ), the arm 560 may sit flush on the remainder...
