The present application relates to a coaptation plate comprising a core and an overmold, the core comprising at least one window which is designed to at least partially extend over a fracture which separates a first portion of the osseous tissue from a second, the window being positioned between two openings through which a fastening screw passes, wherein one of said openings lies at least partially within a proximal portion of the core and the other opening lies at least partially within a distal portion of the core, the overmold enclosing the core and forming at least one upper layer and one lower layer on either side of the core, the window defining polymer material links that pass through the core and connect the upper layer and the lower layer, thus ensuring that the overmold is anchored in the core.
A coaptation plate, including a metal core and an overmold made from at least one biocompatible polymer material, the core including a proximal part and a distal part, the proximal part being configured to be fastened to a first part of an osseous tissue and the distal part being configured to be fastened to a second part of the osseous tissue, each of the proximal part and the distal part including at least one fastening screw passage orifice for a fastening screw and a suture thread passage orifice for a suture thread, the suture thread passage orifice being smaller than the at least one fastening screw passage orifice,
