A bone plate configured to accommodate flexible strands (flexible loops) attached to soft tissue to be attached to bone. The bone plate has a plurality of recessed eyelets on the distal edge of the plate, to allow the user (surgeon) to pass a flexible strand through the recessed eyelets and reattach the soft tissue to the plate at the anatomical location where the tissue was dissected. The recessed eyelets may have various shapes, forms and configurations and may be provided on or within a surface of the bone plate in any number, depending on the characteristics of the fractured bone or bone segments, or of the plate design. The eyelets preferably receive a flexible strand for fixation of soft tissue to the bone plate.
