The bone augmentation device is used for attachment of soft tissues to bone by means of sutures. It comprises a curved bone plate (1) with several through holes (2). The bone plate (1) lies in a curved plane (3) having a curvature R PL, in the range of 25 to 100 mm. The edges (4) of the plate (1) are rounded with a curvature R EP in the range of 0,2 to 0,7 mm and the edges (5) of the through holes (2) are rounded with a curvature R EH in the range of 0,2 to 0,8 mm. The device according to the invention prevents the suture from cutting through the bone and prevents gapping between the soft tissue (tendon) and bone which would result in a poor healing. The consequence is that a stable repair will facilitate healing. |
