Abstract
A lattice for the fixation of bone parts or for the bridging of bone defects, particularly in the region of the skull and jaw, is made of biocompatible material with a reticular structure and with recesses for receiving bone screws, with which the lattice can be secured on the bone. The lattice does not have circular rings for receiving bone screws, but instead each lattice recess (32) can be used for receiving a bone screw. The bridges form meandering, continuous, regular bridge rows along the main axes of the lattice.
