摘要：
The bone plate (1) has a lower surface (2), an upper surface (3), a thickness T measured between the lower and upper surfaces (2；3), a longitudinal axis (4) and a plurality of plate holes (5) running from the lower surface (2) to the upper surface (3). The bone plate (1) further has a slot (6) extending from the lower surface (2) towards the upper surface (3) and having a width W measured at the lower surface (2) and parallel to the longitudinal axis (4). The slot (6) extends to a maximum distance D measured from the lower surface (2) towards the upper surface (3) of 0.4-0.9 times the thickness T of the bone plate (1). The slot (6) has a width measured parallel to the longitudinal axis (4) which at its maximum extension E is at least 0.8 mm, preferably of at least 3 mm. The slot (6) allows the plate (1) to bend longitudinally—additionally to the intrinsic bendability of the unslotted plate (1)—at most to the amount of 20°, preferably at most to the amount of 10°. Due to the bi-phasic properties of the bone plate (1) optimal bending properties and adaptability to anatomical surfaces are achieved.
