Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP)

32
Q

This type of plate is used on transverse or nearly transverse fractues

A

Compression plate

33
Q

What’s unique about the fracture site with compression plates in terms of what it allows?

What must take place before the plate is applied

A

Allows compression at the fracture site!

plate must be shaped to the bone

34
Q

How is compression applied with a Compression plate?

A

Spherical gliding principle

35
Q

With usage of a Compression plate, compression occurs when using this type of screw?

A

eccentric loaded screw

36
Q

What happens to the compression plate before it is applied and why is this done?

A

it’s prestressed 1-2 mm at the fracture line to allow compression of the opposite cortex

37
Q

Neutralization plates are used on _____ or _____ fractures and applied via a ____ ____ ____

A

oblique or comminuted

neutral drill guide

38
Q

How are Neutralization plates anatomically reduced?

A

with use of lag screws or cerclage wires

39
Q

Neutralization plates protects the _____ compression achieved by the lag screw from ____, bending, or _____ forces

A

Neutralization plates protects the (interfragmentary) compression achieved by the lag screw from (rotation), bending, or (shearing) forces

40
Q

Bridging plates bridge _____ fractures?

A

diaphyseal

41
Q

For bridging plates:

The plate is secured to proximal and distal fracture fragments and spans the ____ part of the fracture
