Abstract
A bone plate is provided for treating a fracture, especially a fracture of an atrophic mandible, which bone plate comprises a plurality of eyelets through the holes of which screws can be screwed into the bone fragments in order to fasten the bone plate to the bone fragments so that the bone fragments on one side and on the other side of the fracture are maintained in a desired position relative to one another by means of the bone plate. The bone plate has a plate thickness in the range of from 0.5 mm to 1.6 mm, and comprises a stabilization zone intended to lie above the fracture, and the eyelets through the holes of which the screws can be screwed into the bone fragments are arranged on both sides of the stabilization zone, wherein the bone plate is designed as a single strip, and the stabilization zone is configured as a strip web whose width corresponds substantially to the external diameter of the eyelets and the moment of resistance of the web against bending of the bone plate in the plane of the plate is the same as or greater than the corresponding moment of resistance of the bone plate in the area between the eyelets.
