Listen "Locking Plates vs. Conventional Plates: Friction, Fixed Angles & Fracture Repair"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode of BoardCast, we dive deep into one of the most fundamental decisions in small animal fracture repair: choosing between conventional bone plates and locking plate systems.Through clear mechanical breakdowns and real-world case thinking, we explore:The core engineering behind each fixation methodWhy screw purchase and bone quality matter (or don’t)Eccentric vs. central loading and how implants fail under stressThe biomechanics of interlocking nails and how they differWhat implant to choose for a given fracture pattern and patient conditionThe critical role of construct design in clinical successIf you're preparing for boards, mentoring residents, or just want to solidify your internal fixation knowledge — this is the surgical mechanics review you need.—🎁 Claim your free sample of Simini Protect Lavage (just cover shipping): https://www.simini.com/getstarted1620808454519🔊 Listen On: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music
