Abstract: The bone plate of the present invention includes a body portion to be fixed to an obliquely anterior medial surface of the tibia below the osteotomy surface; a wide portion to be fixed to an outer peripheral surface of the tibia at a higher position than the osteotomy surface; a connecting portion that connects the body portion and the wide portion; and a plurality of screw holes arrayed in the body portion, the wide portion and the connecting portion. An inner surface that extends from the wide portion to the connecting portion and faces the tibia has a continuous curved shape twisted about an axis along the longitudinal direction of the tibia. The wide portion is offset in an outward plate thickness direction with respect to the body portion.

Abstract: A bone plate includes: a band-shaped body section that is fixed along a longitudinal direction of the tibia; a transverse section that is fixed along a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the tibia; a joining section for joining the body section and the transverse section; and screw holes. The body section, the joining section, and the transverse section have a curved surface shape, a first plane on which the axial line of a screw hole in the joining section is disposed and a second plane on which the axial line of a screw hole in the body section is disposed are substantially parallel to each other, the angles between a straight line connecting a longitudinal direction upper-end portion and lower-end portion of the bone plate and the first plane and the second plane are predetermined angles, and an axial line and an axial line are at twisted positions.

Abstract: A bone plate is provided with: a strip-shaped main-body portion that is secured, along a longitudinal direction of a tibia, to an oblique anterior inner surface of the tibia below a cut formed in an inner surface of the tibia; a transverse portion that is secured to an inner surface of the tibia above the cut along a direction that intersects the longitudinal direction of the tibia; and a joining portion that joins the main-body portion and the transverse portion, wherein the transverse portion and the main-body portion are provided with a plurality of screw holes that are arrayed with spaces between each other and that pass therethrough in plate-thickness directions.

Abstract: A bone prosthesis material that promotes calcium ion elution while retaining its effect on osteoclasts so that its binding to a bone can be achieved at an early stage. The bone prosthesis material that is composed of a plurality of ?-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP) phases containing monovalent cations in solid solution at different concentrations. Being a composite phase of ?-TCP phases containing monovalent cations in solid solution at different concentrations, the bone prosthesis material promotes calcium ion elution while retaining its effect on osteoclasts, and thus enables its binding to a bone at an early stage.
