Abstract
External fixation using a locking plate is an uncommon approach, however good clinical outcomes have been reported in the literature so far. It provides certain benefits over conventional external fixators, which hinder everyday activities due to their bulkiness. Aside from being more convenient for the patient, external fixation with locking plate results in less soft tissue trauma, low-profile stable fixation and shortened hospital stay.
