Plate Osteosynthesis

Plate osteosynthesis is a surgical technique used to stabilize broken bones. During the procedure, a metal plate is attached to the bone using screws. This plate acts like a support structure, holding the broken pieces together so they can heal properly. The method is often used for fractures in long bones, like those in the arms and legs. By ensuring the bones are aligned and stable, plate osteosynthesis promotes quicker healing and helps restore function to the affected limb. It’s considered an effective way to treat complex fractures and improve patient outcomes.
