“…Recently, locking plates, or internal fixators, have been designed to allow for less plate to bone contact without compromising stability. The screw holes are modified to allow the screw to "lock" into the plate, thus converting a plate/screw construction into a fixed-angle device with multiple points of fixation [11]. This design allows for minimal vascular damage to the periosteum.…”

“…These are primary loss of reduction, secondary loss of reduction, and compression of the periosteum leading to a disturbance of the cortical blood supply 1,5,23 . These problems were unresolved until the innovation of the LCP system [11][12][13][23][24][25] . Two cases (case 11 and 32) in the study were found to have failure of anatomic reduction intraoperatively and on radiological assessment immadiately following the operation.…”

The aim of this study was to introduce the clinical and radiological results of long bone fractures in dogs each applied the new implant system called Locking Compression Plate (LCP). In the study 32 dogs with different breed age and sex treated using LCP system had diaphyseal zone long bone fractures. The study incorporated eight cases of each humeral, radial, femoral and tibial fractures. Analysis preoperative taking radiographs of fractures classified according to Unger system. Appropriate titanium plates and screws regarding to LCP system used for each cases surgery. ÖzetBu çalışmada amaç, yeni bir implant sistemi olan Kilitli Kompresyon Plak (LCP) uygulamalarının, köpek uzun kemik kırıklarındaki klinik ve radyolojik sonuçlarının ortaya konmasıdır. Çalışmada 32 adet değişik ırk, yaş ve cinsiyetteki köpekte diyafizer bölge uzun kemik kırıkları LCP sistem kullanılarak sağaltıldı. Çalışmaya 8'er adet humerus, radius-ulna, femur ve tibia kırığı dahil edildi. Preoperatif alınan radyografiler incelenerek kırıklar Unger sistemine göre sınıflandırıldı. Operasyonlarda her bir olguya uygun boyutlarda LCP sistem setlerine ait titanyum plak ve vidalar kullanıldı. Kullanılan plak boyutu, vida sayısı ve plak-vida dansitesi kaydedildi. Her olgu klinik ve radyolojik olarak 10. ve 25. günler ile 2. ve 3. aylarda değerlendirildi. Ayrıca postoperatif 10. ve 25. günlerde ilgili ekstremitedeki topallık ve ağrı duyumu skorlanarak kaydedildi. Literatür verilere göre sık karşılaşılan kırık komplikasyonları olan osteomyelitis, gecikmeli kaynama, hatalı kaynama, kaynama yokluğu bulgularına rastlanmadı. Çalışmadaki 32 olgudan 27'sinde primer kemik kaynamasıyla geri kalanlarda ise hafif kallus oluşumuyla iyileşmenin sağlandığı görüldü.

Background: Multiple implants are available to treat distal femoral fractures. The recent addition is the locking plate contoured to the distal femur with combiholes in the proximal portion. Though it is established that locking plates offer higher stability than the previous implants like dynamic compression screw or condylar buttress plate, some studies showed higher incidence of delayed union. We evaluated 30 type A and type C distal femoral fractures treated with locking condylar plate in our institutes.Methods: We conducted a prospective study on 30 consecutive patients with fractures of distal femur operated with locking condylar plate from December, 2015 to February, 2017. Patients were regularly followed up with x-rays and clinical examination. At the end of one year follow-up, patients were evaluated with Pritchett score.Results: Fracture union was seen in all patients. Union was faster in type A fractures than in type C intra articular fractures. 67% of patients achieved excellent to good grading according to Pritchett rating system. Conclusions: Locking condylar plate is effective in treating distal femoral fractures with minimal complications.
