Abstract
A bone plate for the splinting of a fracture at a bone with a plurality of bone screws. An elastic cushion is provided between the bone screws and the bone plate in the direction towards the fracture. The screw head penetrates through the bone plate completely and lies on the bone with a contact surface under a bias force. A ring body is molded onto the elastic cushion and can be mounted at the lower side of the bone plate. The ring body and the contact surface of the screw head both project beyond the lower side of the bone plate.
