ABSTRACT:
An implantable bone plate comprises a solid, elongated, generally circular rod member having a plurality of axially-aligned flat members spaced apart along the length thereof. Each flat member has a width greater than the thickness of the rod member and an aperture for receiving a bone screw or the like. The apertures are normal to and intersect the axis of the rod member. The thickness of the flat members is preferably at least as great as the thickness of the rod member so that only the flat members bear against a bone. Preferably, the flat members are truncated spherical members whose spherical surfaces intersect the rod member.
