Sentence examples for angle of locking from inspiring English sources

Compared to the conventional anatomical locking plate, the polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate of the distal tibia provides a better fit to the geometry of the distal tibia of the domestic population, and the insertion angle of locking screws can be regulated up to 30°.

If plate and screw fixation is applied to elderly patients, an angle stable system of locking plates should be considered.

This was inevitable in the LCP because of the predetermined entry angle of the locking screws, whereas it could have been partially prevented in the LC-DCP constructs by changing the entry angle of the cortical screws.

However, in the first generation of locking plates currently available, screw insertion angles are predetermined by manufacturers and are not able to be adjusted during instrumentation [ 6].

A third study showed the potential of angle-stable locking to maintain fixation stability while reducing the number of locking screws in the treatment of unstable distal tibia fractures [ 28].

LPHP offers the advantage of locking head screws, which enter the humeral head at various angles in order to maximise purchase [14].

The volar approach and the use of locking plates is an extremely effective and safe technique; in fact, the use of fixed-angle locking plates reduces the risk of postoperative bone displacement, and requires a shorter immobilization time [20, 21].

In recent years the use of angle stable locking compression plates has been popularized.

One novel approach to the problems of distal tibia fracture management is the angle-stable locking of intramedullary nails with use of a preassembled 70 30 poly L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide) sleeve on ASLS locking screws.

Additionally the group of Kaspar et al. found angle-stable locking of intramedullary nails in tibia fractures to result in less fracture gap movement and better radiologic, histomorphometric, biomechanical and clinical fracture healing in sheep [ 30].

This is due to several factors, including the increased reliability of angle-stable locking plates [16, 17] and better understanding of the relationship between limb malalignment and OA [35, 36].
