Plate and Screw Systems

Plate and screw systems are medical devices used to stabilize broken bones or aid in bone reconstruction. A metal plate is attached along the bone's surface using screws, which hold the fractured ends in proper alignment to promote healing. These systems can be made of durable materials like stainless steel or titanium and are designed to provide strong support while allowing for normal movement. They are commonly used in orthopedic surgery to ensure bones heal correctly and regain strength, minimizing deformity or disability after injuries.
