Fracture Repair Has Taken A Major Step Forward

Fracture repair has taken a major step forward with the Geriatric Fracture Center's adoption of locking compression plates as the standard treatment for broken bones.

Poor bone quality, common in older adults, increases the technical difficulty and complications of operative treatment of fractures.  The goal of surgery is to optimize bone and/or joint alignment, preserve blood supply to aid healing and provide stability to allow early mobilization.

Plates are applied to reduce the gap between bone at the fracture site and provide rigid fixation. Locking plates are especially helpful for patients with osteoporosis and fractures with multiple segments. Here's why.

With Conventional Plates

• Screws can move independently from the plate. They may loosen over time as force is applied. If there is premature screw loosening, fracture instability, loss of fracture gap reduction and nonunion of the bone may result.
• Plate-to-bone compression and friction from movement between the plate, screws and bone may negatively impact the blood supply to the bone.
• Osteoporotic bone may not be able to withstand the high screw torque required for stability.
