Abstract

The object of the present invention is a bone joining plate which is suitable for securing the fractured bones even when the screwing alone is insufficient and which is easily adaptable to the conditions of application before or during the operation. According to the invention, a bone joining plate is provided having an oblong plate curved according to the bone surface, where at least two holes are arranged along the longitudinal axis and at least three pointed claws bent from the material of the plate are arranged at one of its ends. One of the claws is arranged suitably in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the plate and at least one further claw is perpendicularly arranged on each side of the plate. The holes may be circular or oval shaped, the latter one allows the eccentric arrangement of screws, whereby compression may be applied to the fractured surfaces. The bone joining plate according to the invention can be produced with claws laying in the plane, or tangent-plane of the plate, but the claws may also be bent from the plane of the plate, which makes their further shaping unnecessary.
