US 12,622,733 B2 · Olecranon bone plate

Abstract

The bone plate (1) according to the invention is particularly suitable for treating fractures or non-unions and for osteotomies of the olecranon and the proximal ulna. The bone plate (1) has the following parts: a distal longitudinal shaft portion (2) having a number of plate holes (11); a longitudinal central axis (3); and a proximal head part (4), which is widened compared to the distal shaft part and has two holes (5; 6) with the hole axes (7, 8) arranged on opposite sides of the central axis (3), wherein the head part (4) is bent down relative to the shaft part (2). The two holes (5, 6) are suitable for receiving a polyaxial locking screw at an angle of ±15° relative to the respective hole axis (7; 8) or a non-locking standard screw, with the two hole axes (7, 8) forming an angle α.
