Abstract
A bone plate for treating fractures of the calcaneal bone is characterized in that it is adapted to the physical shape of the bone surface and has compression screw bores (,). In a preferred embodiment, the bone plate has a T-shape, and transverse offset projections arranged at one end of a longitudinal portion with further transverse portions at the other end. The plate is arched along the center axis in a portion from halfway to two thirds of a distance from the first end to the second end, and the offset and transverse projections are arched about an axis running substantially parallel to the longitudinal portion.
