ABSTRACT:
A bone plate for bridging two portions of a broken bone which can be formed to fit and retain many irregular surfaces and yet retain optimum strength. The bone plate is particularly adaptable for fracture in the pelvic and acetabular area, although the plate is also adaptable for other bone areas. The bone plate is comprised of a solid elongated rod portion and a plurality of screw retaining areas extending from the rod portion and spaced apart from each other along the rod portion, forming rod segments between the protruding screw retaining areas. The plates may be of predetermined lengths and curves to fit specific bones and contours or the plates may be supplied as straight stock that may be cut and contoured according to specific needs.
