Abstract

A device for osteosynthesis comprises an elongated bone plate and an elongated slide plate adapted to be fitted on the outside of the bone plate. Several longitudinally spaced elongated holes for the reception of bone screws are provided in one longitudinally portion only of the bone plate, while the other longitudinal portion of the bone plate is provided with circular holes and the elongated slide plate is provided with several longitudinally spaced circular holes. The circular holes in the slide plate have a diameter approximately equal to the width of the elongated holes in the bone plate and a pitch substantially equal to the pitch of those elongated holes.
