Summary:To provide a bone fixation body.SOLUTION: A bone fixation body has a plurality of links 46 spaced along a first direction, the links defining respective crests 51 and valleys 60 offset along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and side members 48, 50 that extend between the crests and valleys. At least some of the links, in combination, define a plurality of securement locations 82 and a plurality of attachment locations 70 that are spaced at least along the first direction. The side members each define an offset region that offsets the securement locations from the attachment locations along a third direction that is substantially perpendicular to each of the first and second directions. The attachment locations are configured to allow fasteners to be inserted into an underlying jaw bone therethrough, thereby allowing the bone fixation body to be attached to the underlying jaw bone. The securement locations are configured to engage with respective securement devices that secure the bone fixation body to complementary securement locations of a second fixation body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】骨固定本体を提供する。【解決手段】骨固定本体は、第1の方向に沿って互いから離間され、第1の方向に垂直な第2の方向に沿って互いからオフセットされたそれぞれの山部51及び谷部60を画定する、複数のリンク46と、山部と谷部との間を延在する横部材48,50と、を含み、リンクの少なくともいくつかが、組み合わせた状態で、少なくとも第1の方向に沿って互いから離間された複数の固着位置82及び複数の取付け位置70を画定し、横部材がそれぞれ、第1及び第2の方向それぞれに対して実質的に垂直な第3の方向に沿って、固着位置を取付け位置からオフセットするオフセット領域を画定し、取付け位置は、その中を通して下にある顎骨へと締結具を受け入れ、骨固定本体を下にある顎骨に取り付けるように構成され、固着位置が、骨固定本体を第2の固定本体の補完的な固着位置に固着する、それぞれの固着デバイスと係合するように構成されている。【選択図】図12
