Abstract
A bone plate has a through-hole that extends from an upper side to a bone-side underside of the bone plate. A lip is formed in the through-hole, which lip projects from the lateral surface of the through-hole and extends in the circumferential direction of the through-hole. The lip extends over part of the circumference of the through-hole. In a circumferential section of at least 120° that lies opposite the lip, the lateral surface is free of a lip. Material is reshaped only to a lesser extent compared to a lip that extends over the entire circumference of the through-hole. The risk of complications occurring due to deposited particles is reduced.
