Abstract
An osteosynthetic bone plate has elongated compression cavities containing eccentric countersinks. The plate includes a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, a plate upper side, and a plate lower side for facing bone fragments. The bone plate also includes a compression element with two plate braces which run substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. Both plate braces are linked together by bridging struts which intersect the longitudinal axis. A plate brace has an eyelet on at least one of the outer sides of the compression element. Additional eyelets can be positioned in front of this eyelet. A compression cavity is situated in each of said eyelets and a connecting strut, which intersects the transverse axis, extends between the eyelets which are located on each plate brace.
