bone plate and screws
The bone plate and screws are medical devices used primarily in orthopedic surgeries for the fixation of bone fractures. The main function of this system is to stabilize broken bones, allowing them to heal correctly. Technological features of the bone plate include its composition of biocompatible materials, often titanium or stainless steel, which minimize the risk of infection and allergic reactions. These plates are designed with a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different anatomies and types of fractures. The screws, typically made of the same material, are used to secure the bone plate to the bone, providing stability. This system finds its application in various types of fractures, including complex intra-articular injuries and those requiring reconstructive surgery.
