An arced compression surface is provided within the at least one hole and a cam path is formed on the arced compression surface. The cam path comprises a cam groove that forms an indentation in the arced compression surface. The arced compression surface generally extends 360° or less within the at least one hole. Similarly, the cam path generally extends one revolution or less around the hole upon the arced compression surface. Depending on the type of screw used in association with the bone plate, the bone plate to be used as either a compression plate or a locking plate.
