Abstract
A bone fixation system for bone repair, the system comprising a bone fixation plate with upper and lower surfaces and at least one opening formed on the upper and lower surfaces to form a passage extending from the upper surface to the lower surface to receive a bone screw. The passage is defined by one or more non-threaded inner walls extending from the upper surface to the lower surface. At interference portions, the passage has a width between the walls smaller than the diameter of the head of the bone screw to achieve interference between the head of the bone screw and the inner walls at interference portions to lock the bone screw within the passage upon its insertion into the passage at a variable angle of rotation relative to a longitudinal axis of the passage.
