One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a bone plate assembly that includes a bone plate (12), bone screw(s) (14) received in aperture(s) in the bone plate, and screw fixation member(s) (18). The screw fixation member(s) may, alone or in conjunction with the bone plate, fix the bone screw(s) in place when such bone screw(s) are inserted in the aperture(s) in the bone plate. In one example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive) when the bone screw(s) have been received by the bone plate and inserted into bone and/or tissue, the bone plate assembly can be used to fuse anatomical structures (such as adjoining bones) and/or to heal a fracture in bone.

Un mode de réalisation de la présente invention concerne un dispositif de lame osseuse qui comprend une lame osseuse, des vis à os logés dans des ouvertures de la lame osseuse, et des éléments de fixation de vis. Ces éléments de fixation de vis permettent de fixer les vis à os en place avec ou sans l'utilisation de la lame osseuse, lorsque des vis à os sont introduites dans les ouvertures de la lame osseuse. Dans un exemple (dont le but est d'illustrer et non restrictif), lorsque les vis à os ont été logées par la lame osseuse et introduites dans l'os et/ou le tissu, le dispositif de lame osseuse peut être utilisé pour faire fusionner des structures anatomiques (telles que des os adjacents) et/ou pour guérir une fracture osseuse.
