A resorbable bone plate includes an elongated base member with a plurality of countersinks formed on the top surface. The countersinks provide a location for screw holes to be drilled through the plate and into a bone. Screws can then be inserted through the holes and into the bone. The countersinks allow the screw heads to remain flush or close to flush to the top surface of the bone plate, thereby reducing the overall profile of the system. The bottom surface of the bone plate is solid to provide significant resistance to deformation. The bone plate can have countersinks formed in a variety of configurations to provide a multitude of options for a surgeon to select a screw insertion location.
