Q

What are the components of elastic plate osteosynthesis and what is the formula for compliance?

A

Increase compliance by:
Longer working length, longer plate, smaller plate (lower ami), lower modulus of elasticity, minimal manipulation, 2-3 screws at each metaphysics, divergent screws, no tapping.

Compliance = L^3/I x E
L = functional working length
I = AMI
E = Young’s modulus of the plate material
