Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein are a reversible bone plate template and a method for using the same to size an implant. The bone plate template may include first and second portions. The second portion may be wider than the first portion and asymmetrical about a longitudinal axis. A section between the first and second portions may allow the second portion to be moved between first and second positions such that either a first or a second surface may be 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.
