Abstract: A bone fixation apparatus having an elongated plate member with at least two pairs of circular openings and a series of openings positioned along the longitudinal plane of the plate member with the circular openings and the series of openings each having a central vertical axis. The circular openings and series of openings each form a cavity with walls extending between the upper and lower plate member surfaces with at least a plurality of the cavities having smaller diameter portions at the plate member upper and lower surfaces and a larger diameter portion therebetween. The cavities are configured in the shape of two inverted cones with matching base circles for allowing transverse and longitudinal angulation of an implanted bone screw. A plurality of bone screws each have a threaded first end portion adapted for implantation into a patient's bone mass and a generally ellipsoid shaped enlarged second end portion.
