Locking plates: a current concepts review of technique and indications for use.

چکیده
Locking plates are important tools in the orthopedic surgeon’s armamentarium. They have demonstrated tremendous effectiveness in dealing with challenging fractures yet the specific indications and techniques for their use is still the subject of considerable debate (2, 41). Inappropriate application of standard orthopedic operative principles may compromise patient outcome, frustrate surgeons, and considerably increase expense to orthopedic care (32, 37). This article reviews locking plates, general indications for use and fracture-specific indications organized by anatomical areas. It will highlight general locking plate principles, complications, and techniques for best utilization of this powerful technology.

متن کاملhp-Spectral Finite Element Analysis of Shear Deformable Beams and Plates
There are different finite element models in place for predicting the bending behavior of shear deformable beams and plates. Mostly, the literature abounds with traditional equi-spaced Langrange based low order finite element approximations using displacement formulations. However, the finite element models of Timoshenko beams and Mindlin plates with linear interpolation of all generalized disp...
