This is bridge plating as the fracture site is bridged by the plate and fixation is achieved proximal and distal to the zone of the fracture and thus provides relative stability, relative length and alignment. Bridge plating preserves the blood supply to the fracture fragments as the fracture site is undisturbed during the operative procedure. This theoretically makes less dead bone fragments and lets the whole thing heal by secondary bone healing.
