Locking plates have revoluntionised the way we plan and execute fracture repair, however, traditional techniques, such as compression plating and lag screws, are still considered the optimal treatment for a number fracture configurations. In this one-day workshop, participants will discuss how some modern bone plates allow the surgeon to combine both traditional techniques and newer locking technology to provide the most stable fixation for a variety of fracture configurations. Including three practical sessions, participants will get nhands on experience in how to best utilize the versatility of locking plates.
