Introduction to Lateral Locking

We aimed to evaluate the functional and radiographic outcomes of a three-dimensionally (3D) pre-contoured lateral locking plate fixation for isolated Weber B type fractures and to evaluate the necessity of an interfragmentary lag screw in the use of the plate.

A combination treatment using a retrograde intramedullary (IM) nail and a lateral locking plate has scarcely been described in distal femur fracture treatment.

OBJECTIVES Since management of bi-condylar tibial plateau fractures are complicated even for expert surgeons, with using a coronal fracture model we aimed to compare two kinds of double locked plating techniques which were consisted of the lateral locking plate and the medial locking plate inserted medial-anteriorly (MA) or medial-posteriorly (MP).

Objective: To evaluate the functional and radiological outcome of comminuted metaphyseal fracture of distal femur treated by Lateral locking compression plate and medial TENS nail using NEER’S score.

Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients undergoing internal fixation for Müller type C2 and C3 distal femoral fractures via locking plate (Group A), lateral locking condylar plate and medial contoured reconstruction plate (Group B), and lateral locking condylar plate and anterior reconstruction plate (Group C).

In 10 patients, the fractures were atraumatic (postural change mainly in non-walking patients), and in 54 of the cases were treated surgically (6 with retrograde intramedullary nailing and 48 with lateral locking plate).

There were 8 cases of unilateral locking and 4 cases of bilateral locking; 4 cases of old injury and 8 cases of fresh injury.

The reported levels of non-union in the lateral locking plate differ widely, with some early studies showing rates of less than 6% and up to 17%-21% in more recent studies.

The typical anterolateral approach is widely used to treat proximal humerus fractures with lateral locking fixation.

Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 16 patients with capitellum and trochlea fractures that were treated using isolated headless compression screws or a combination of dorsolateral locking plates and anterior-to-posterior screws.

This study describes the surgical steps for placement of a medial endosteal plate in combination with lateral locking plate in a cadaver model using fluoroscopy guidance.

The fracture was treated surgically with a rotated anterolateral locking plate (A.

Purpose This study aimed to determine whether unrestricted weight-bearing as tolerated (WBAT) following lateral locking plate (LLP) fixation of periprosthetic distal femoral fractures (PDFFs) is associated with increased failure and reoperation, compared with restricted weight-bearing (RWB).

We measured the angles between the most medial and lateral locking screws in the coronal plane and between the most anterior and posterior locking screws in the sagittal plane.

Eight groups of six synthetic femora each were formed: intact femora; intact femora with lateral locking plate; contact and gap transverse shaft osteotomies each with lateral locking plate, lateral locking plate and helical locking plate, and long proximal femoral nail.

This study aims to determine which operative treatment is associated with the lowest perioperative morbidity and mortality when treating low (Su type II and III) PDFFs comparing lateral locking plate fixation (LLP-ORIF) or distal femoral arthroplasty (DFA).

The lateral locking plate alone may not be sufficient to hold this fragment, because of the morphology and position of postero-medial fragment, leading to late varus collapse.

INTRODUCTION Bridge plating of distal femur fractures with lateral locking plates is susceptible to varus collapse, fixation failure, and nonunion.

In this study we aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of lateral locking plate combined with medial assisted plate for treating intraarticular comminuted distal femoral fractures.

Although lateral locking plates are often a preferred and successful fixation construct for the treatment of periprosthetic proximal and distal femur fractures, specific complications and modes of failure have been associated and well-described with their use.

Group 1: Include the distal third tibial fractures which are simple or comminuted treated as open reduction & internal xation with lateral locking compression plate.

Conclusion: The functional outcome of tibial plateau fractures treated with single lateral locking compression plate was satisfactory in all our patients.

CONCLUSIONS Simple coronal shear fractures of the capitellum are biomechanically equally stabilized by headless compression screws compared to an additional antiglide plate or a posterolateral locking distal humeral locking plate.

A temporary anterolateral locking plate fixation was used to complete the intramedullary nail fixation.

All were treated with an anterolateral locking plate via anterolateral approach and MIPO technique.

CSFs were treated by a buried implantable headless screw or Kirshner wires or bioresorbable screw with/without lateral locking plates.

Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the stability of a double-plate procedure using reversed contralateral locking compression-distal femoral plates for fixation of Vancouver B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures under full weight-bearing.

05) except specimens fixed with lateral locking plate at 10-mm displacement (P =.

The combination of a lateral locking plate with an anteromedial non-locking plate (group L+T) was the stiffest construction, while the combination of a non-locking lateral plate with a non-locking anteromedial plate (group T+T) was the least stiff, even in comparison with a single locking lateral plate (p = 0.

INTERVENTION All fractures were treated with a lateral locking plate, and tantalum markers were inserted into the main proximal and distal fracture fragments.

To compare the clinical outcomes of unstable femoral trochanteric fracture treated by proximal femoral intramedullary nail enhanced with lateral locking plate versus cerclage steel wire.

BACKGROUND Lateral locking plate (LLP) fixation has gained popularity for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs); however, complications can occur due to loss of the medial cortical buttress from fracture comminution.

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of the medial-end clavicle fractures with a reversed lateral locking clavicle plate.

5-mm lateral locking plate exhibited similar control over fragment displacement.

Background In this study, our aim was to compare the results of the dual locking plate fixation technique and lateral locking plate fixation technique for tibial bicondylar plateau fractures without posteromedial fragment.

The purpose of this study was to report surgical tips and techniques on the use of additional medial buttress plate fixation in proximal humeral fractures with unstable medial column restoration after lateral locking compression plate fixation.

erefore, this present study has been chosen to evaluate the functional outcome and clinical results while treating distal tibial fractures using anterolateral locking compression plate (LCP) [21].

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of lateral osteotomy via the supra-fibular-head approach combined with lateral locking plating for simple posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.

Four lateral locking plates were placed against a cadaveric adult tibia.

Aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical, radiographic and functional outcomes of posterolateral locking compression plate for extra-articular distal third humerus fractures through posterior triceps splitting approach.

Purpose This prospective study evaluated the functional outcome and union rates of open distal femoral fractures managed with anatomic lateral locking plates.

Fractures were simulated in 10 matched pairs of isolated cadaveric fibulae and plated with a single lateral locking plate for right-sided specimens, or with a one-third tubular plate and a 7-hole 2.
