Patent ID: 8728126

Claim:
A bone plate comprising: an elongated member having a longitudinal axis. an upper surface, a lower surface, and one or more bi-directional combination holes extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, each hole consisting of a pair of substantially circular divergent domains with non-overlapping circumferences and an interconnect which separates the circumferences of the two domains, each domain having a counterbore, said domains being configured and dimensioned to receive a pair of full head bone screws being in all-around circumferential contact with said domains for anchoring into a bone or fragments thereof, each domain comprises a central longitudinal axis, each hole comprises a transverse axis extending perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said elongated member and through said interconnect, wherein said central longitudinal axes of each domain diverge relative to each other while converging towards said transverse axis in a direction away from said lower surface of said bone plate.
