Orthopaedics and Trauma, 09/18/09
Szypryt P et al. – Lockable plates refer to implants that can accept either standard screws or locking screws. This hybrid implant can, therefore, be used to produce internal splintage with locking screws or the more traditional compression, buttressing and neutralization when standard techniques are employed. Failure to recognize that a lockable plate does not necessarily need to have locking head screws inserted is discussed as one of the pitfalls in using these implants.
