There are so many different locking systems with so many advantages to compare – how strong the plate is, how strong the screws are, how strong the locking is, is the plate flexible enough, what about the price compare?, and more, and more…
Many clinical cases especially when we can expect prolonged bone healing (old, metabolic or hormonal problematic patients etc.) or uncommon bone stress (too heavy patients, too emotional patients etc.) require the best possible locking between plate and bone. Every surgeon in this situation needs reliable scientific and clinically tested final info which system has really the strongest and longest lasting locking.
Here we present you the comparison made by a team of very famous orthopedic surgeons proving that the FixIn conical locking wins without any comment the competition against the standard 90 degrees threaded locking in plate plus rod experiment.
