The surface of said upper side around said screw holes is designed as a depressed area with regard to the rest of said upper side and the side edge of said depressed area is running approximately parallel to said longitudinal sides.
The removal of material is effected at strategic locations of the bone plate in order to reduce the peak stresses.
