Locking plates are fracture fixation devices with threaded screw holes, which allow screws to
thread to the plate and function as a fixed-angle device 1-3. These plates may have a …

The use of locking plates relies on novel mechanical and biological concepts: the bone
healing is endochondral because of the elasticity of the constructs. Preoperative planning is …

BACKGROUND: Fractures of the tibial plateau present a treatment challenge and are
susceptible to both prolonged operative times and high postoperative infection rates. For …

The present investigation is a prospective study comparing the use of locked plates and
classic double plates for the repair of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures. Eighty-four patients …
