Abstract
A bone plate that includes apertures for bone screws and locking screws is disclosed. The locking screws can be in an aperture adjacent to the locking screw aperture such that when the locking bone screws and locking screws are in place, the head of the locking screw at least partially covers the head of the bone screw. In another example, the locking screw aperture is threaded, and the locking screw is placed on top of the bone screw.
