• this type of plate generally comprises holes for the engagement of screws making it possible to perform an arthrodesis between two bones or an osteosynthesis between two bone fragments. This is the case, for example, for the bones of the hand or foot, without excluding other applications, particularly in the field of the spine.

• the arrangements of the plate adapted to ensure, under a screwing effect, an adjustable compressive force to bring the two bone parts are constituted by at least one housing which has a profile in section defining a plurality of distinct zones able to cooperate with a screw, in order to generate a progressive translation displacement of the screw as and when a screwing corresponding to a displacement of one of the bone parts at least, generating the compressive force.
• one of the zones is constituted by a hole of diameter D1 intended to receive the head of the screw, while another zone is constituted by a hole of diameter D2. less than the diameter Dl, and having, at a given height, a slope of between 40 and 60 °, said zones being connected by an intermediate zone having a slope in the direction of the zone constituted by the hole of diameter D 1.
• the slope of the intermediate zone is between
• Another problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a temporary fixing of the plate to facilitate the fixing of the latter by the operator by means of pins and to allow, after placing pins in one parts of bone, slide under the plate at the time of screwing while providing compression in a precise direction.
• the plate has, in known manner, a housing for the introduction of a pin on the side of one of the bone parts and another housing for the introduction of a pin of the side of the other bone part.
• one of the housings is constituted by a circular hole whose diameter corresponds substantially to that of the spindle, while the other housing is constituted by an oblong slot.
• the axis of the oblong slot is oriented angularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the plate at an angle of between 1 and About 10 °.
• the plate has smooth and / or tapped holes for receiving fastening screws with the bone parts.
• the plate is longitudinally centered to accommodate the curvature of the bone portions.

• FIG. 19 is a partial view of the plate showing, schematically, two extreme positions of the initial bore to obtain maximum compression (position 1) or zero compression (0 position).
• the osteosynthesis and / or arthrodesis plate is designated as a whole by (1).
• this plate (1) has smooth and / or threaded holes (1a) for the engagement of fixing screws (2) screwed into the bone portions (Ol) and (02), as it will be indicated in the following description.
• the plate (1) has at least one housing or compression pad (Ib). As shown in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3, this housing (Ib) has several distinct zones (IbI), (Ib2) and (Ib3), in order to make it possible to regulate the desired compression, in particular as a function of the bone quality, depending on the starting position of a screw (3) in said housing.
• the housing (Ib) is constituted by three distinct zones which have the following characteristics:
• Zone (IbI) is constituted by a hole of diameter D1 intended to receive the head (3a) of the screw (3).
• Zone (Ib2) consists of a hole with a diameter D2 less than the diameter D1 having, over a given height, between 1 and 2 mm approximately, a slope of the order of 40 to 60 °, with respect to the plane of base of the plate.
• the zones (IbI) and (Ib2) are connected by an intermediate transition zone (Ib3) having a downward slope, that is to say directed towards the zone (IbI). This slope is between 15 and 30 °.
• a hole is previously made in one of the bone parts considered according to the zone (Ib2) or (IbI) depending on the compression that is to be obtained.
• the screw (3) is inserted into the hole in contact with the head (3a) on the plate (1) ( Figures 4 and 5).
• the screw head (3a) is screwed along the slope of the intermediate zone (Ib3) causing a second compression to find a position of stability at the hole (IbI ) whose diameter is adapted to that of the screw head (3a).
• a second compression it is possible to stop in any intermediate position, in order to obtain an accurate adjustment of the compression.
• the level of compression generated is of the order of 0 to 3 mm and can be controlled depending on the location of the initial passage.
