Listen "Biomechanics of Locking Plates: Fixed Angle Isn’t Always Better"
Episode Synopsis
In this BoardsCast episode, we take a deep dive into the mechanics, myths, and misapplications of locking plates — a tool that’s often misunderstood as being universally superior.We explore:The difference between locking and conventional plates from a mechanical standpointWhy fixed-angle doesn’t always mean stronger or more stableThe concept of working length, strain environment, and stress distributionWhen locking plates shine — and when they failCommon failure modes: cold welding, screw breakage, and stress shieldingTips for strategic plate selection based on fracture type, bone quality, and load demandsWhether you're stabilizing a comminuted shaft or debating construct rigidity, this episode offers clarity on when to lock — and when to think twice.—🎁 Claim your free sample of Simini Protect Lavage (just cover shipping): https://www.simini.com/getstarted1620808454519🔊 Listen On: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music
