Is Far Cortical Locking More Effective Than Bicortical Locking in Treating AO 43A1-3 Fractures?

Turkey (Türkiye)26 participantsStarted 2020-04-01

Plain-language summary

Delayed union or nonunion, which is a common complication of periarticular fractures repaired with angled locking plate systems, may be due to the unintentionally rigid formation of this system. This study aimed to compare the results of the treatment of distal tibial fractures made more flexible using the far cortical locking (FCL) technique with the classical bicortical locking screw (BL) technique.
