43-293A/USCl.l- COMPATIBLE INTERNAL BONE FIXATION PLATE Abstract of the Disclosure An internal fixation plate for bridging two portions of a broken bone is formed to have properties in terms of, bending, axial, and torsional stiffness suitable for those of the bone being mended. These properties include high resistance to bending and torsional stresses, and relatively low axial stiffness. One plate configuration which has been determined to have the desired stiffness properties is formed from a hollow tube deformed to have an external configuration substantial the same as conventional bone fixation plates. Arrangements are provided for precluding bone ingrowth, and this may be achieved by filling the member with a medically inert substance, such as silicone rubber or ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, or by sealing the openings into the tubular plate. The materials of the bone fixation plate may be selected for their mechanical properties, and also as biologically inert substances which will not have adverse physiological effects when embedded in the human body.
