Abstract
A bone plate has bone facing side, a front side being arranged substantially opposite to and facing away from the bone facing side, and at least a first and a second elongated guiding channel. The first and second guiding channels are configured to receive a flexible elongated member such as, for example, a cerclage wire, and the first and second guiding channel are each further configured to guide the elongated member along a respective first and second guiding channel axis (A, B) from a first to a second lateral region of the bone plate. The first and second guiding channel axes (A, B) cross each other in at least one region of the bone plate outer front side.

A bone plate, comprising:
- a bone facing side,
- a front side arranged substantially opposite to and facing away from the bone facing side, and
- at least a first and a second elongated guiding channel, the first and second elongated guiding channels each being configured to receive a flexible elongated member,
- the first and second elongated guiding channels each further being configured to guide said elongated member along a respective first and second guiding channel axis from a first to a second lateral region of the bone plate,
- the first and second elongated guiding channel axes crossing each other in at least one region of the bone plate, the at least one region being configured as a recess at the front side,
- and the bone plate further comprising a cap member which is rotatably received in the recess and includes at least one guiding opening.
A bone plate, comprising:
- a bone facing side comprising a base portion and one or more protrusions,
- a front side being arranged substantially opposite to and facing away from the bone facing side, and
- a porous plate member connected by the one or more protrusions to the bone facing side.
A surgical kit comprising:
- a bone plate comprising:
- a bone facing side including a base portion,
- a front side arranged substantially opposite to and facing away from the bone facing side, and
- at least a first and a second elongated guiding channels, the first and second elongated guiding channels each being configured to receive a flexible elongated member,
- the first and second elongated guiding channels each further being configured to guide said elongated member along a respective first and second guiding channel axis from a first to a second lateral region of the bone plate,
- the first and second elongated guiding channel axes crossing each other in at least one region of the bone plate;
- a porous plate and a spacer member intermediate the bone facing side of the bone plate and the porous plate;
- a separation tool configured to be insertable into the space between the porous plate member and the base portion of the bone facing side;
- and
- the separation tool being configured to separate the porous plate member from the base portion.
A bone plate, comprising:
- a bone facing side,
- a front side being arranged substantially opposite to and facing away from the bone facing side, and
- at least a first, a second and a third elongated guiding channel, the first, second and third guiding channels each being configured to receive a flexible elongated member,
- the first, second and third elongated guiding channels each further being configured to guide said elongated member along a respective first, second and third elongated guiding channel axis from a first to a second lateral region of the bone plate,
- the first, second and third elongated guiding channel axes crossing each other in at least one region of the bone plate.
A bone plate, comprising:
- a bone facing side,
- a front side being arranged substantially opposite to and facing away from the bone facing side, and
- at least a first and second elongated guiding channel, the first and second elongated guiding channels each being configured to receive a flexible elongated member,
- the first and second elongated guiding channels each further being configured to guide said elongated member along a respective first and second elongated guiding channel axis from a first to a second lateral region of the bone plate,
- the first and second elongated guiding channel axes crossing each other in at least one region of the bone plate,
- the first and second elongated guiding channel axes crossing each other in a common channel portion of the first and second guiding channels, the common channel portion being configured as a recess at the front side, and
- the bone plate further comprising a cap member which is rotatably received in the recess, the cap member comprising at least one guiding opening which is selectively alignable with one of the guiding channel axes.
A bone plate, comprising:
- a bone facing side,
- a front side being arranged substantially opposite to and facing away from the bone facing side, and
- at least a first and a second elongated guiding channel, the first and second elongated guiding channels each being configured to receive a flexible elongated member,
- the first and second elongated guiding channels each further being configured to guide said elongated member along a respective first and second guiding channel axis from a first to a second lateral region of the bone plate,
- the first and second elongated guiding channel axes crossing each other in at least one region of the bone plate,
- the first and second elongated guiding channel axes crossing each other in a common channel portion of the first and second guiding channels, the common channel portion being configured as a recess at the front side through which the first and second elongated guiding channel axes extend.
