  2. Internal fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fixation

    Internal fixation refers to fixation of screws and/or plates, intramedullary rods and other devices to enable or facilitate healing. Rigid fixation prevents micro-motion across lines of fracture to enable healing and prevent infection, which happens when implants such as plates (e.g. dynamic compression plate) are used.

  3. Orthopedic plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_plate

    Orthopedic plates are designed based on the bone fracture. While the general design is similar, each plate must be manufactured to not only to reduce the fracture but also fit the contour of the patient's bone. [5] Protection Locking plates can be used either to support a locking head screw, or to force bone together at the fracture.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloplasty

    There are two type of screw designs that are suitable as dental implants, screw-root form and plateau-root form designed screws. The two screw designs have different osseointegration outcomes, longevity and healing processes. The screw-root form design is directly threaded into bone and has macroscopic retentive elements for initial bone fixation.

    Orthopedic implant example seen with X-ray. An orthopedic implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing joint or bone, or to support a damaged bone. [1] The medical implant is mainly fabricated using stainless steel and titanium alloys for strength and the plastic coating that is done on it acts as an artificial cartilage. [2]

    Orthopaedic implants help alleviate issues with the bones and joints of the body. [5] They are used to treat bone fractures, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and chronic pain as well as in knee and hip replacements. Examples include a wide variety of pins, rods, screws, and plates used to anchor fractured bones while they heal. [1 ...

  9. Dynamic compression plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_compression_plate

    The sliding screw plate (dynamic compression screw, dynamic hip screw) may be used to treat intertrochanteric fractures as well as other injuries. This device consists of a lag screw and a side plate with a barrel. The sliding screw telescopes and provides fixation while allowing impaction to occur at the fracture during healing and weight ...
