Q&A

What is the greatest difference between placing plates ‘parallel’ or working at 90°?

The great difference is the sturdy construction one obtains by the many interdigitating screws in the distal area. In this way, the entire fixation is very sturdy.

Then what is the extra benefit of the Locking version?

The extra benefit is that one can provide the plate with a screw thread during the operation, in this way still determine the path of the screw oneself and still tighten it in the plate.
