  • Title: Has locked plating completely replaced conventional plating?
    Author: Gardner MJ, Helfet DL, Lorich DG.
    Journal: Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ); 2004 Sep; 33(9):439-46. PubMed ID: 15509108.
    Abstract:
    The 2 main approaches to fracture plate fixation--compression plating and internal splinting--result in differing biomechanics and subsequent healing response patterns. A number of advantages to using the newer internal fixators have been described, but there are still several indications for traditional compression plating.
