BONE PLATE WITH CONICAL SCREW THREADS

摘要

The bone plate comprises a top side (1), an underside (2) to make contact with the bone, and several holes (4) mounted along the longitudinal plate axis (3) and connecting the top side and the underside (1) and (2) to receive bone screws (11). The diameter DL of at least one of these holes (4) is larger along the longitudinal plate axis (3) than this hole's diameter DQ transverse to the longitudinal plate axis (3). At least one of these holes (4) is fitted with an inside thread (5). This inside thread (5) tapers conically toward the bone plate's underside. The bone plate allows application as a compression plate and as a so-called inner affixation system without entailing tradeoffs.
