  1. Advantages of Locking Plates The orthopedic Locking Plate is a type of instrument used for fixation in orthopedic surgeries. The orthopedic Locking Plate can be sourced from any trusted bone screw suppliers. The Locking Plates are famous for their numerous advantages over the traditional methods of bone fixation. The orthopedic Locking Plate is extremely helpful in the process of healing the injury and effectively assists in holding the fractures in place to avoid further complications that might arise due to misalignment or dislocation. locking The Locking Plates are considered more beneficial in comparison to the old plates as they have myriad advantages over the earlier used DCP. The Locking Plates/screw system makes use of screw holes which help in stabilizing the plate by fixing it in position in between the screw holes. The orthopedic Locking Plate system may incorporate certain holes and screws of the conventional plates, thus rendering them extra effective. It is important however, to source the Locking Plates from a renowned and reputed orthopedic locking screw supplier. The conventional locking screws used a technique of tightening that compressed the bones in a manner to interfere with the blood supply. The plates were pressed against the bones and that contributed to the stability but also required major contouring of the bones of the person to help build the traditional plate specific to the needs of the person. The plate was to be particularly adapted to the bone structure of the patient or the fixation might result in complications. A few primary advantages that the orthopedic Locking Plates have over the traditional plates are mentioned below:

  2. The Locking Plates provide an efficient fixed angle stability required to enhance the efficiency of the fracture and also helps in the process of healing. The Locking Plates system is advantageous as it does not require intimate contact with the bones and still manages to hold the fracture in place by means of the fixed angle stability. As the screws are tightened, they provide alignment and stability to the bone without compressing the bone  The fracture fixation is maintained in the non-reducible fractures without causing any unnecessary problems. The non- locking screws permit a greater angular access and better extension of the body part, thus proving beneficial.  The orthopedic Locking Plates do not disturb normal working of the cortical bone perfusion that lies just beneath. Conventional plates were so fitting that they affected and compressed the cortical bone structure as well.  A potential advantage that follows fixation by using Locking Plates/ screw system is that the screws have lesser risk of loosening from the plate. This ensures better results in terms of fracture fixation and does not even loosen in case of grafting. A benefit of the non-loosening nature is that it stops inflammation that might cause excessive problems while healing. The vascularity of the muscles is maintained, and the constant blood supply is not affected. This reduces the chances of any other problems and by preserving blood supply highly assists in the healing of the damaged part.  The Locking Plates can be used during operations to solve the issue of poor bone quality and different types of fractures as it provides better screw placement and also reduces excessive pressure on the vascular system. It is chosen over the traditional methods because of its easy application and other aforementioned benefits.
