Each tension element is anchored to the bone and maintained in tension by a distal anchor attached to said tension element and configured to engage the distal surface of the bone and a proximal anchor engageable between the bone platc and the tension element. In one method for fixation of a bone fracture, the bone plate is positioned on a proximal surface of 10 the bone while the tension element is introduced into the bone and through an opening in the bone plate from an opposite distal surface of the bone. 20/03/07, 6447 specification.21/12 20 28 26 120 F 12 2 10 P B D Fig. 1 2 1129 26 26a 22 1 181 188 24 25 25D Fig. 2
