Mono Axial Locking Plates

Locking screws and plates are currently available in sizes 3.5mm 2.7mm 2.4mm 2.0mm
Plates have dual combination stacked mono-axial locking holes that consist of a conical shaped twin start threaded hole with ball radius over top.
Screws are AO compatible with a twin start threaded head and HC threaded shaft.
Benefits of using locking over standard compression are as follows:
A locked construct creates a secure fixation when used in conjunction with a compatible locking screw, providing stability, and a reduced risk of primary and secondary losses of reduction. The plates do not need to be compressed against the bone to create a stable fixation, and thus reduces plate to bone contact, which in turn reduces complications caused by vascular trauma to periosteal tissue through preservation of blood supply.
