Abstract
An embodiment of a bone plate comprises a main body which is fixed to a side of the fracture and having a hole in which a connecting element is inserted for purposes of this fixation procedure; a movable part which is associated with the main body, is fixed to the other side of the fracture and having a hole in which a connecting element is inserted for purposes of this fixation procedure and being moveable with respect to the main body; a displacement mechanism enabling movement of the movable part relative to the main body, on the center of which it is positioned; a locking element which stops operation of the displacement mechanism, thereby restricting the movement of the movable part; and a displacement element which is associated with the displacement mechanism for controlling thereof externally.
