Use of screw locking elements improves radiological and biomechanical results of femoral osteotomies

BACKGROUND: Dynamic compression plate (DCP) constructs provide inadequate fixation in cases of poor bone quality and early weight-bearing. Screw locking elements (SLE) are flat locking nuts placed at the end of the screw to prevent screw stripping from the bone, improving fixation stability. The pur...
