We claim: 1. A device for fixing a bone, comprising: a bone plate including a pair of clip portions each being at least generally U-shaped and configured to wrap partially around a bone to opposing surfaces of the bone, each clip portion including a pair of arms extending from a bridge region that connects the pair of arms, the pair of arms of at least one clip portion defining a pair of aligned apertures, and a spanning portion connecting the clip portions and configured to extend along the bone between the pair of clip portions; and a fastener configured to extend through the bone and to each of the aligned apertures, wherein each bridge region has an at least substantially convex outer surface facing in a respective direction, and wherein the respective directions that the outer surfaces of the bridge regions face are about the same. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the spanning portion bridges the clip portions by extending at least substantially from only one arm of each clip portion. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein each arm defines a plane, and wherein the spanning portion defines a plane oriented at least generally parallel to the plane defined by an arm of a clip portion. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein each clip portion defines a respective pair of aligned apertures configured to receive a fastener that extends through the bone and to each of the aligned apertures of the respective pair. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the fastener locks to at least one aperture of the pair of aligned apertures when the fastener is received in each of the aligned apertures and extends through the bone. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the fastener locks to only one aperture of the pair of aligned apertures. 7. The device of claim 6, wherein the only one aperture that the fastener locks to is elongate. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the spanning portion is unitary with both of the clip portions. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the clip portions are formed by discrete components. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the bone plate is configured to be installed on a rib bone. 11. A device for fixing a bone, comprising: a bone plate including a pair of clip portions each being at least generally U-shaped and configured to wrap partially around a bone to opposing surfaces of the bone, each clip portion including a pair of arms extending from a bridge region that connects the pair of arms, the pair of arms of at least one clip portion defining a pair of aligned apertures, and a spanning portion connecting the clip portions and configured to extend along the bone between the pair of clip portions; and a fastener configured to extend through the bone and to each of the aligned apertures, wherein each arm defines a plane, and wherein the spanning portion defines a plane oriented at least generally parallel to the plane defined by an arm of a clip portion. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein the spanning portion bridges the clip portions by extending at least substantially from only one arm of each clip portion. 13. The device of claim 11, wherein each clip portion defines a respective pair of aligned apertures configured to receive a fastener that extends through the bone and to each of the aligned apertures of the respective pair. 14. The device of claim 11, wherein the fastener locks to at least one aperture of the pair of aligned apertures when the fastener is received in each of the aligned apertures and extends through the bone. 15. The device of claim 14, wherein the fastener locks to only one aperture of the pair of aligned apertures. 16. The device of claim 15, wherein the only one aperture that the fastener locks to is elongate. 17. The device of claim 11, wherein the spanning portion is unitary with both of the clip portions. 18. The device of claim 11, wherein the clip portions are formed by discrete components. 19. The device of claim 11, wherein the bone plate is configured to be installed on a rib bone. 20. A device for fixing a bone, comprising: a bone plate including a pair of clip portions each being at least generally U-shaped and configured to wrap partially around a bone to opposing surfaces of the bone, each clip portion including a pair of arms extending from a bridge region that connects the pair of arms, the pair of arms of at least one clip portion defining a pair of aligned apertures, and a spanning portion connecting the clip portions and configured to extend along the bone between the pair of clip portions; and a fastener configured to extend through the bone and to each of the aligned apertures such that the fastener locks to at least one of the aligned apertures, wherein each bridge region includes an inner surface and an outer surface that oppose each other, wherein the outer surface of each bridge region faces away from the pair of arms of such bridge region, and wherein the outer surfaces of the bridge regions both face in about a same direction. 21. The device of claim 20, wherein the spanning portion bridges the clip portions by extending at least substantially from only one arm of each clip portion. 22. The device of claim 20, wherein each arm defines a plane, and wherein the spanning portion defines a plane oriented at least generally parallel to the plane defined by an arm of a clip portion. 23. The device of claim 20, wherein each clip portion defines a respective pair of aligned apertures configured to receive a fastener that extends through the bone and to each of the aligned apertures of the respective pair. 24. The device of claim 20, wherein the clip portions are formed by discrete components. 25. The device of claim 20, wherein the bone plate is configured to be installed on a rib bone. 26. A device for fixing a bone, comprising: a bone plate including a pair of clip portions each being at least generally U-shaped and configured to wrap partially around a bone to opposing surfaces of the bone, each clip portion including a first arm and a second arm extending from a bridge region that connects the arms, the first and second arm of at least one clip portion defining a pair of aligned apertures, and a spanning portion connecting the clip portions and configured to extend along the bone between the first arm of each clip portion; and a fastener configured to extend through the bone and to each of the aligned apertures such that the fastener locks to at least one of the aligned apertures, wherein the spanning portion and the first arm of a clip portion each include an inner surface and an outer surface that oppose one another, and wherein the outer surface of the first arm of the clip portion and the outer surface of the spanning portion both face in about a same direction.
