Certain embodiments of the invention provide plates for treating periarticular fractures or other non-full body weight bearing applications that combine polyaxial fixation with a low profile and enhanced contouring that more closely conforms to bone. Such plates can be designed to achieve buttressing effect and/or to be used in a reinforcement mode. Other features can be combined with these. Such plates can be created for use on bone sites such as on a tibia, fibula, metatarsal, calcaneous, other foot bone, humerus, radius, ulna, spinal, maxillofacial, as well as sites on other bones.

The assembly of claim 1, wherein the shaft portion includes a pin opening. 4. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising one or more fasteners for engaging the one or more polyaxial openings, the one or more fasteners having a threaded head, wherein the plurality of fins are deflectable relative to the threaded head of the one or more fasteners when the one or more fasteners is inserted into the one or more polyaxial openings, thereby allowing the one or more fasteners to be inserted and retained at any one of a plurality of angles relative to the one or more polyaxial openings. 5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the one or more threaded opening is configured to provide a rigid fixation between the bone plate and the one or more fasteners when the one or more fasteners is inserted into the one or more threaded openings, thereby allowing the one or more fasteners to be inserted and retained at a predetermined angle relative to the one or more threaded openings. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the shaft portion of the bone plate includes a buttressing portion that is configured to be pulled toward a bone upon insertion of a first fastener through an opening in the buttressing portion, and wherein thereafter insertion of a second fastener through the one or more polyaxial openings is configured to fix the bone plate to the bone. 7. The assembly of claim 6, wherein the second fastener has a threaded head, and wherein the plurality of fins are deflectable relative to the threaded head of the second fastener when the second fastener is inserted into the one or more polyaxial openings, thereby allowing the second fastener to be inserted and retained at any one of a plurality of angles relative to the one or more polyaxial openings. 8. The assembly of claim 6, wherein the first fastener is one of a deformable fastener or a non-locking fastener. 9. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the head portion defines multiple openings through the head portion, and wherein the head portion defines an exterior edge that extends along a periphery of the head portion in the direction substantially transverse to the length of the shaft portion, the exterior edge defining curved recesses that are each located between the multiple polyaxial openings along the direction substantially transverse to the length of the shaft portion. 10. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the multiple openings through the head portion comprise multiple polyaxial openings. 11. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the shaft portion has (i) a first exterior edge extending along the length of the shaft portion and (ii) a second exterior edge extending along the length of the shaft portion, the first and second exterior edges being on opposite sides of the shaft portion, wherein the interior surface defines one or more indentations or undercuts that traverse across the interior surface transverse to the longitudinal axis, each of the one or more indentations or undercuts extending from the first exterior edge to the second exterior edge. 12.

A bone fixation assembly for treating a fracture of a bone site, the assembly comprising: a bone plate having an interior surface configured to contact bone and an exterior surface, the bone plate comprising: a head portion including one or more polyaxial openings, the head portion having a concave inner surface that is configured to conform to a bone surface, anda shaft portion that extends from the head portion, the shaft portion including a mid-portion and one or more polyaxial openings,wherein the head portion is flared away from the shaft portion,wherein the plate has a twist along a longitudinal axis of the shaft portion such that the head portion is angularly offset from a distal end portion of the shaft portion,wherein the one or more polyaxial openings each comprises an inner surface having a plurality of fins protruding from the inner surface, andwherein the bone plate is configured to provide a buttress effect when one or more cortex, compression, or osteopenic screws are used to compress the mid-portion to the bone site. 14. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the head portion includes at least two polyaxial openings, and wherein a central axis of one of the at least two polyaxial openings converges toward a central axis of the other of the at least two polyaxial openings. 15. The assembly of claim 13, wherein at least a portion of the concave inner surface of the head portion has a cupped shape. 16. The assembly of claim 13, wherein at least a portion of the bone plate is bent sagittally. 17. The assembly of claim 13, wherein an inner surface of the shaft portion is concave in a direction transverse to a length of the shaft. 18. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the concave inner surface of the head portion is shaped to conform to one or both of a medial malleolus and a distal tibia. 19. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the head portion includes at least two rows of polyaxial openings that extend along a length of the head portion, wherein the polyaxial openings in one of the two rows are staggered along the length of the head portion relative to the polyaxial openings in the other of the two rows. 20. The assembly of claim 13, wherein each of the one or more polyaxial openings in the shaft portion has a central axis; and wherein the interior surface of the bone plate defines one or more indentations that each traverse across the interior surface in a direction that is (i) transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shaft portion, and (ii) transverse to the central axes of the one or more polyaxial openings in the shaft portion, the one or more indentations providing a portion of the interior surface that is configured to face toward the bone site but not contact the bone site when the bone plate is compressed against the bone site. 21. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the head portion defines one or more pin openings; and wherein the bone plate is substantially T-shaped and has (i) a first portion of the head portion extending in a first direction transverse to the length of the shaft, and (ii) a second portion of the head portion extending in a second direction opposite the first direction. 22. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the bone plate is shaped such that, when the mid-portion is compressed to the bone site in a compressed position, thereafter insertion of one or more fasteners through the one or more polyaxial openings fixes the bone plate in the compressed position. 23. The assembly of claim 22, wherein the one or more fasteners have a threaded head, and wherein the plurality of fins are deflectable relative to the threaded head of the one or more fasteners when the one or more fasteners are inserted into the one or more polyaxial openings, thereby allowing the one or more fasteners to be inserted and retained at any one of a plurality of angles relative to the one or more polyaxial openings. 24. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the bone plate includes one or more non-locking is shaped such that, when one or more screws are the mid-portion is compressed to the bone site in a compressed position, thereafter insertion of one or more fasteners through the one or more polyaxial openings fixes the bone plate in the compressed position; and wherein the insertion of the one or more fasteners through the one or more polyaxial openings fixes the bone plate without causing the mid-portion to contact the bone site. 25. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the head portion defines multiple holes through the head portion, and wherein the head portion defines curved scallops in an edge of the head portion, the curved scallops being placed at locations between the multiple holes through the head portion.
