Product Overview
The Synthes Locking Compression Plates (LCP) are part of a plate and screw system that merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques. The Locking Compression Plate System has many similarities to existing plate fixation methods, but with a few important enhancements. Locking Screws provide the ability to create a fixed angle construct while utilizing familiar AO plating techniques. A fixed-angle construct provides advantages in osteopenic bone or multifragment fractures where traditional screw purchase is compromised. Locking screws do not rely on plate-to-bone compression to maintain stability, but function similarly to multiple small angled blade plates. (https://www.depuysynthes.com/)
