The present invention in relation to the implant (implant) for fixing the bone plate (bone plate) 12, 14, in particular, the skull plate neighboring (cranial bone plate) adjacent to the bone plate (12, 14) inside face (inner face) (16) and the outer surface (outer face) and holds (18). The implant inside the contact element (inner contact element) (92) which is located on the inner surface of the bone plate to the neighborhood; The outer contact element (outer contact element) (94) which is located on the outer surface of the bone plate to the neighborhood; Connects the internal contact element 92, the outer contact element (94) to which they will be no longer comprises a flexible tension element (tensioning element) in a linear manner (linear manner) so that can be separated from each other. Object of the invention to present these types of implants with improved properties. To be achieved at the specified implant prior to the present invention, between the outer contact element 94 is a tensile element of the free strand (free strand) at least partly accommodated in the connection region (connection region) (108) in between, or adjacent bone plates through the separation gap (gap separation) to include the at least one recess (recess) to provide the connection region 108.
