[RESEARCH PROGRESS IN TREATMENT OF FRACTURES BY FAR CORTICAL LOCKING TECHNIQUE]
Objective:
To summarize the research progress in the treatment of fractures by far cortical locking technique.
Methods:
The domestic and foreign related literature about the treatment of fractures by far cortical locking technique was reviewed, summarized, and analyzed.
Results:
In order to overcome the shortcomings of high stress at the near side of the plate and high stiffness of traditional locking plate, a new far cortical locking technique has been developed recently. The structure retains the overall strength of locking plate, but decreases the stiffness of the fixation by 80%, so it can provide interfragmentary parallel micromotion and help to form symmetric callus, and satisfactory results have been achieved in theory, experiment, and clinical application of treatment of fractures by far cortical locking.
Conclusion:
The far cortical locking technique is a major improvement of locking plate, which is expected to significantly reduce delayed healing and nonunion of some fractures treated with traditional locking plate.
