An osteosynthesis plate (OP, OP′, OP″, OP′″) for fixation of bone fragments (K1, K2) includes a plate body (P, P′) with at least one bridge section (BU, BU1, BU2) for bridging a gap (S) between the bone fragments (K1, K2). The plate body (P, P′) includes fixation sections (BA1, BA2, BA1′, BA2′, BA3′), each of which is associated with at least one fixation point (BP1, BP2, BP1′, BP2′, BP3′) that is formed on an island section (IA, IA′) connected to the respective associated fixation section (BA2, BA1′, BA2′) exclusively via spring segments (FS1, FS2, FS1′, FS2) that permit relative displacement of the respective fixation section (BA2, BA1′, BA2′) and of the respective island section (IA, IA′) in an elastically resilient manner. At least one of the spring segments (FS1, FS2, FS1′, FS2) is aligned such that, when a load (B) is applied in a main loading direction of the bone (K), a relative displacement takes place between the island section (IA, IA′) and the fixation section (BA2, BA1′, BA2′) associated with this island section (IA, IA′), during which a distance between the island section (IA, IA′) and the at least one bridge section (BU, BU1) increases.
