Abstract
An absorbable biocompatible polymeric plate is described. The plate has channels on its top surface and through its thickness for receiving sutures to secure soft tissue proximally to the device. The plate also has notches on its bottom surface for added security of soft tissue when conditions require the surgeon to attach tissue beneath the plate.
