The invention relates to an osteosynthesis plate for the osteosynthesis of small neighbouring bones. The inventive osteosynthesis plate (1) is dimensioned such that it can be positioned above the bones to be treated without resting on the larger neighbouring bones. According to the invention, the osteosynthesis plate comprises lateral holes (16) for the insertion of screws (6) which are used to fix same to the bones (2 to 5). The plate is characterised in that: (i) it comprises a flat face (10) which is intended to come into contact with the bones to be treated; and (ii) it comprises holes (16) for receiving screws (6), which have axes that are inclined in relation to the aforementioned flat face (10) and which are designed such that the inserted screws diverge towards the outside of the plate (1).
Osteosynthesis plate for osteosynthesis of small neighbouring bones, in particular wrist bones, having dimensions such that it may be placed above the bones to be treated, without resting on larger neighbouring bones, and comprising lateral holes for inserting screws to fix the latter to such bones characterized in that it comprises a face intended to come into contact with the bones to be treated which is flat, and comprises holes for receiving screws having axes that are tilted in relation to said flat face, such holes being designed such that the screws, once inserted into said holes, diverge towards the outside of the plate.
