“…This newly designed second generation plate system has shown promising results so far [20]; however, it has not been evaluated biomechanically in a periprosthetic fracture situation yet. Compared to the first model for distal femur application, there are now three variants of the plate for proximal, diaphyseal and distal femur fractures.…”

“…Due to its extramedullary design, especially locking plate osteosynthesis induces some interfragmentary motion at the cortex opposite to the plate, while motion is reduced at the cortex adjacent to the plate [6]. The opportunity for minimally invasive implantation of a plate, which would lead to lower rates of soft tissue complications, could additionally improve the healing process [32]. Nevertheless, when fracture strain exceeds the healing threshold, evidence exists from biomechanical and animal studies that bone healing can be disturbed, leading to nonunion, malunions or implant failure [4,15].…”

“…In addition to improved stability, anglestable plate systems also offer the possibility of soft tissue protection and indirect fracture repositioning by plate insertion through a minimally invasive approach [32].…”

“…In the literature, the mechanical advantage of multidirectional screws is controversial concerning the distal femur [32,33] but has been proven for PPF [14]. The clinical advantage has been stressed, but some authors [21] have experienced better and more encouraging clinical results with a minimally invasive approach than with a mini-open approach [34]. Most manufacturers allow a 30°cone (15°in each direction), though the optimal cone to avoid harming assembly stability is around 20°(10°in each direction) [35].…”
