Abstract: A kit for orthopedics, preferably for osteosynthesis, has a mechanical fixing system that includes a plate for straddling between two bone fragments and fixing screws for fixing the plate to the two bone fragments. The plate has a thickness of about 0.5-4 mm and conical through holes, the fixing screws each having a head, a self-tapping stem, and a conical collar interposed between the head and the self-tapping stem to define a conical coupling within a corresponding conical through hole of the plate. The heads of the fixing screws have a upper surfaces with a recessed and shaped mark for coupling with the tip of a screwing tool and external side walls with a thread for engaging a gripping tool. When the conical collar is inserted into a corresponding conical through hole of the plate, the head protrudes outwardly from the plate.
