A plate is disclosed for compressing together first and second bone parts. The plate includes screw holes adapted to receive screws for insertion into first and second bone parts, respectively, at least one of the screw holes being a compression slot with formations configured to ensure, when a respective screw is seated within the slot, an adjustable compression force adapted to bring the first and second bone parts closer together. The plate also comprises a circular guide pin hole for insertion of a pin into one of the first and second bone parts, and another guide pin hole, in the form of an elongate slot, for insertion of a pin into the other of the first and second bone parts. The plate may also include a curvature adapted to cause at least a pair of screws inserted into screw holes of the plate to converge.
