Abstract

A bone plate system is for osteosynthesis with a bone plate, a bone screw, the screw head of which has, at least in sections, a surface structure, a further bone screw, the screw head of which has, at least in sections, a surface structure, a through-hole, which is configured to hold the bone screw polyaxially, a further through-hole, which is associated with the through-hole and configured to hold the further bone screw, a perforation which connects the through-hole and the further throughhole, and a bulge, which is formed opposite to the perforation on the through-hole, extending the latter, hi the screwed-in state, the bone screw and the further bone screw are affixed at a fixed angle in many dimensions by virtue of the screw heads of the bone screw and the further bone screw being secured against a relative notion in relation to one another and in relation to the bone plate by a tensioned multi-point mount, in which attachments of the bone screw are formed in the through-hole at both transition regions between the bulge and the through-hole section respectively adjacent to the bulge.

Claims (17)

1. A bone plate system, for osteosynthesis, comprising:

a bone screw, the screw head of which has, at least in sections, a surface structure,

a further bone screw, the screw head of which has, at least in sections, a surface structure, and

a bone plate, said bone plate having

a through-hole, which is configured to hold the bone screw polyaxially,

a further through-hole, which is associated with the through-hole and configured to hold the further bone screw,

a perforation, which connects the through-hole and the further through-hole, and

a bulge, which is formed opposite to the perforation on the through-hole, extending the latter,

wherein in the screwed-in state, the hone screw and the further bone screw are affixed at a fixed angle in many dimensions in that the screw heads of the bone screw and of the further bone screw are secured against a relative motion in relation to one another and in relation to the bone plate by means of a tensioned multi-point mount in which attachments of the bone screw are formed in the through-hole at transition regions between the bulge and the respective through-hole section adjacent to the bulge.

2. The bone plate system as in claim 1 , wherein radial projections and/or radial channels are formed, at least in sections, in the through-hole outside of the bulge, with which the surface structure on the screw head intermeshes, at least in sections, in the screwed-in state of the bone screw.

3. The bone plate system as in claim 1 , wherein radial projections and/or radial channels are formed, at least in sections, in the further through-hole, with which the surface structure on the screw head intermeshes, at least in sections, in the screwed-in state of the further bone screw.

4. The bone plate system as in claim 1 , wherein the bulge is configured with a crescent shape.

5. The bone plate system as in claim 1 , wherein the bulge has a smooth surface.

6. The bone plate system as in claim 1 , wherein a rectilinear distance between opposite ends of the bulge is smaller than the diameter of the through-hole.

7. The bone plate system as in claim 1 , wherein the bulge is essentially formed mirror symmetrically to the extension of the line connecting the center points of the through-hole and of the further through-hole.

8. The bone plate system as in claim 1 , wherein the through-hole is formed with a spherical head holder opening towards the upper side of the bone plate and the screw head of the bone screw is formed as an associated spherical head, which is at least partially arranged in the spherical head holder of the through-hole in the screwed-in state of the bone screw.

9. The bone plate system as in claim 8 , wherein the spherical head is equipped with a first thread and a second thread, which are formed superimposed on the spherical head.
