The advantages of locking bone plates in short bone fractures

The locking bone plate of short bone fractures has the following advantages:

Superior angular stability and mechanical properties: The locking bone plate provides high stability and rigid fixation through the locking mechanism between the screw and the bone plate. The conical design of the screw head can improve the mechanical distribution, provide radial preload, and effectively prevent bone resorption and screw loosening. This three-dimensional fixed structure can still maintain stability under stress, and is particularly suitable for the characteristics that short bones are subjected to complex mechanical environments.

Soft tissue protection and blood supply preservation: The bone plate does not need to be in close contact with the bone surface. A bridging fixation is formed through a screw-bone plate Angle fixation device, which not only retains the blood supply of the periosteum but also reduces the risk of periosteum injury. This design maintains the biological environment of the fracture site to the greatest extent, which is conducive to callus formation and fracture healing.

Minimally invasive adaptation and operation advantages: The locking bone plate system supports percutaneous fixation technology, and the matching template allows single-cortex, self-drilling, and self-tapping locking screws to achieve minimally invasive operations. Its anatomical design can adapt to the local anatomical morphology of short bones. The matching locking screws can provide good anchoring effects in both elastic bridging fixation and absolute stable fixation, significantly reducing surgical trauma.

Special fracture type adaptation: For comminuted fractures that are prone to occur in short bones, short bone mass fractures around the joint, and osteoporotic fractures, the locking bone plate demonstrates unique advantages. Its bridging principle and combined principle fixation methods are particularly suitable for fractures with a relatively severe degree of fragmentation. Through the three-dimensional fixation structure, the stability of the fracture ends is effectively maintained and the risk of reduction loss is reduced.

Complication control and rehabilitation advantages: This system significantly reduces the risk of postoperative bone resorption by minimizing periosteal injury and stress occlusion effects. Its controlled micromotion characteristics not only ensure the stability of the fracture end but also promote the formation of callus. Combined with the characteristics of minimally invasive techniques, it can shorten the anesthesia and operation time, reduce the interference to the body, and accelerate the recovery of muscle function in the affected limb.
