Small bone plate with screw bores - is of pure compressed titanium with rib width less than twice that of bore edges

摘要

The titanium bone plate has raised edges (12) round the screw bores, and thinner ribs (20) between the edges. The width of the ribs is less than twice that of the edges. In case of a set of three bores in the plate, their centres (14,14') can be on lines intersecting at an angle (18) differing from 0 or 90 deg.C. ADVANTAGE - Easily fitted implant with long service life.
