The bone plate (1) has the shape of an "X". It comprises an upper side (8), an underside (9) facing the bone, a middle part (2) and, adjoining thereon, a peripheral region (3), which encloses the four arms of the "X" and in which four plate boreholes (4) are accommodated. The plate boreholes (4) have means (5), which are suitable for the rigid, angularly stable anchoring of bone screws (10), which are to be introduced therein.
