Abstract
Osteosynthesis with metal plate and screws is a common treatment for the fracture of the long bone. It is advised that each hole of a plate should be used for fixation with screw, for example, a plate with eight holes is used with corresponding eight screws. However in a limited case, some holes are not occupied with screws because of types of the fracture, such as a comminuted fracture or a open fracture with bone defect. In the post operative course of such cases, complications of bending, torsion or breakage of the metal plate are not rarely seen.
