Abstract
Device for connecting bone fragments by a bone plate (1), which is to be connected to the bone fragments using screws (5). A screw (5) or group of screws is connected to a coupling part (6) at a fixed angle, which coupling part surrounds the bone plate (1) transversely, on the one hand forming with the underside (3) of the plate a swivel bearing and on the other hand having a cover plate (10), which contains at least three fixing screws (16) arranged laterally offset with respect to the swivel bearing. By adjusting these fixing screws, the coupling part with the associated screws can be angularly adjusted with respect to the bone plate.
