To facilitate the insertion of bone screws into a bone plate, a magazine for receiving at least one bone screw is proposed, which comprises a device for releasably securing the magazine to a bone plate, a receiving chamber extending continuously from the upper side to the underside of the magazine, a bone screw being arranged in the receiving chamber in such a way that when the magazine is secured to the bone plate, the distal tip of the bone screw is directed at a screw-in opening in the bone plate, and the proximal end of the bone screw is accessible to a screwing-in tool from the upper side of the magazine, and a fixing device for releasably fixing the bone screw in the receiving chamber. The invention also relates to a bone plate having at least one such magazine releasably secured thereto.
