Orthopedic plate information


Orthopedic surgeon making adjustments to a metal plate in a patient's ankle

An orthopedic plate is a form of internal fixation used in orthopaedic surgery to hold fractures in place to allow bone healing[1] and to reduce the possibility of nonunion. Most modern plates include bone screws to help the orthopedic plate stay in place.
