Abstract

A bone plate having a shape of an “X”. The bone plate includes an upper side, an underside facing the bone, a middle part and, adjoining thereon, a peripheral region, which encloses the four extensions of the “X” and in which four plate boreholes are accommodated. The plate boreholes have means, which are suitable for the rigid, angularly stable anchoring of bone screws which may be introduced therein.
