- Encourages a locked screw to plate interface due to the combination of Grade II Titanium locking plates (softer) and Grade V Titanium Alloy (Ti6A14V) locking screws (harder).
- Surgeons decides where the screw should be placed and locked.
- Plates are low profile, because there is not a thread in the plate design for locking.
- A locking screw can be removed, re-directed and re-inserted in the same hole up to 3 times without compromising the locking strength.
Why use locking plates in the hand?
Locking plates may be preferred to treat severely comminuted fractures, fractures close to the joint or fractures with poor bone quality. Perhaps, with the introduction of locking plates in the hand, bi-cortical screw purchase may not always be considered necessary. Locking plates in the hand may also encourage more creative positionning and placement of plates which may reduce soft tissue irritation.
