DOI: 10.1177/1687814019854577
Abstract: Strong stiffness provided by locking-plate system has resulted in nonunion and delayed union for long bone fracture. Longer bone plate can lengthen the working length to reduce the structural stiffness of the fixation device but… read more here.

Surgical performance when inserting non-locking screws: a systematic review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "EFORT Open Reviews"
DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.5.180066
Abstract: Billions of screws are inserted by surgeons each year, making them the most commonly inserted implant. When using non-locking screws, insertion technique is decided by the surgeon, including how much to tighten each screw. The… read more here.
