Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein are a reversible bone plate template and a method for using the same to size an implant. The bone plate template (100) includes first (104) and second (106) portions. The second portion is wider than the first portion and asymmetrical about a longitudinal axis. A section (108) between the first and second portions allows the second portion to be moved between first and second positions such that either a first (118) or a second (120) surface is a bone contacting surface. A method for sizing an implant with a bone plate template may include determining whether a first or second surface is to be placed on bone, moving a portion of the bone plate template, placing it on bone and selecting an implant based upon the bone plate template.
