Konventionelle Plattenosteosynthese

Abstract

Consolidation of bone is an essential clinical problem when treating fractures, fixing osteotomies and fusing joints. In most cases, the means of fixation are plates and screws. The goal is functional postoperative therapy by moving the adjacent joints and thus avoiding the deleterious disadvantages of long-lasting articular immobilization. Pre-operative planning, surgical approach, a good understanding of the precise mechanics of the structure and the biological answer for the various tissues are prerequisites of successful osteosynthesis. The choice of implants and the application of their versatility, as well as their adaptation to individual cases are the key to good results.

Powder metallurgy with space holder for porous titanium implants: A review

“…It is not clear to what extent the danger of refracture is affected by the choice of compression or bridging plating and the number of locked screws and cortices used. Consolidation of bone is an essential clinical problem when treating fractures, fixing osteotomies, and fusing joints [212,213]. In most cases, the means of fixation are plates and screws.…”
