  1. Some Essential Information About Bone Plates in Orthopedics

  2. About Bone plates are like the internal splints used to support and hold the bones together. They are like the anchors during orthopedic treatments anywhere in our body according to anatomical requirements. 

  3. Tension Band Principle of Plating Eccentric loading is known as when the bones' load is not evenly distributed along their axes. This kind of undistributed loading also occurs when there is a fracture and one side of the soft tissues is considerably harmed, leaving the remaining undisturbed. It distorts the placement of the bones, stressing them on one side rather than the other. 

  4. Types of Orthopedic plates and screws  Different Types of Orthopedic plates and screws include the following: •   Plates •  Screws

  5. Types Of Plates 1)Dynamic Compression Plate 2)Limited Contact Dynamic Compression Plates 3)Locking Compression Plates 4) Reconstruction Plates  5) Anatomical plates/angular Locked Plates

  7. Screws It depends on the bone type on what kind of screws are to be used. For plating purposes, the screws used are usually the kind used for lagging. They can be cortical or cancellous screws. Medical equipment manufacturers in India recommend that In some situations, only one type of screw is required, while in others, a mixture of these must be applied. 

  8. Uses of bone plates • They are used at a time when there is a requirement to restore the anatomical alignment. • They are used when the screws alone are not sufficient to solve the purpose.  • When load sharing has to be ensured, when proved insufficient, bone grafting might be added.
