The plate is fixed by screws () engaged in holes () formed in the thickness of the plate which is designed in such a way as to ensure an adjustable compression effort, created by a screwing effect, which brings the two bone parts closer together. The design consists of at least one recess () having a cross-section defining a plurality of separate areas (), () and () that can co-operate with a screw () in order to generate a progressive translational movement of the screw () during the screwing action, corresponding to a movement of at least one of the bone parts, and causing the compression effort. Said plate () comprises a recess (c) for the introduction of a spindle () on the side of one of the bone parts, and another recess () for the introduction of a spindle () on the side of the other bone part, one of said recesses () consisting of a circular hole having a diameter which essentially corresponds to that of the spindle (), and the other recess () consisting of an oblong hole.

The invention relates to a plate () fixed between two bone parts by means of screws engaged in holes () formed in the thickness of said plate. The plate () comprises a rib which is inclined according to an angle of between 30° and 60° in relation to the plane defined by the plate and has a hole () for engaging a screw (). Said rib is located in the central part of the width, over a determined part of the length of the plate so that the screw () brings the two bone parts into the compressive position.

The invention relates to a plate fixed between two bone parts by way of screws engaged in holes formed in the thickness of said plate. The plate comprises an angled member or rib which is inclined according to an angle of between about 30° and 60° in relation to the plane defined by the plate. The angled member or rib has a hole for engaging a screw and is located in the central part of the width, over a determined part of the length of the plate, so that the screw brings the two bone parts into a compressive position.
