<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bone plate in which technical treatment is not difficult, for example, a large amount of bones need not be removed for fixing a broken bone, preferably a part of a long bone in a femur or the like. <P>SOLUTION: The bone plate has a longitudinal axis, comprises an upper surface, a lower surface and a first hole for engaging a head of a first bone anchor. The first hole is configured and adapted to fix a shaft of the first bone anchor along a first axis. A second hole is spaced apart from the first hole along the longitudinal axis. The second hole is for engaging a head of a second bone anchor, and is configured and adapted to fix a shaft of the second bone anchor along a second axis. The first hole and the second hole are configured such that the first axis and the second axis define a single plane and intersect at a point below the lower surface. The shafts of the first and second bone anchors may touch or nearly touch at the point of intersection, such that the first and second bone anchors form a truss. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
