PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an implant for a bone fracture allowing to check a recovery state of the fracture line from outside with applied to the bone.;SOLUTION: A plate body 12 for the implant 11 for the bone fracture is molded by relatively hard resin excellent in bio-compatibility so as to correspond to a shape of the bone fracture area. The resin of the plate body 12 is made of a radiolucent material with radiability, such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) etc., which are desirable. A plurality of screw thread holes 13 are provided on the plate body 12 for self-tapping by tapping screws, and their diameters are smaller than the screw root diameter. The tapping screws are made of a titanium alloy or stainless steel excellent in bio-compatibility.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
