Abstract
A bone plate for a fracture between an epiphysis and a diaphysis has an outer part unitarily formed with a fan-shaped outer end having a plurality of outer holes and an inner end extending from the outer end. A bar-shaped inner part has an outer end juxtaposed with the inner end of the outer part and formed inward of its outer end with a plurality of inner holes. A pivot is provided between the inner end of the outer part and the outer end of the inner part. Formations juxtaposed with the pivot on the inner end of the outer part and on the outer end of the inner part are lockable together in each of a plurality of angularly offset fixed positions of the inner and outer parts. When the formations are pressed together the inner and outer parts are locked angularly relative to each other.
