Abstract
The primary aim of fixation of fracture is to make the fractured bone stable, to promote healing, and to restore function of the injured extremity. Conventional bone plates were once in common usage and are made of stainless steel 316 L grade. Plating provides secure fixation when the required number of cortices are held by using screws depending on the size of the bone. Conventional plating involves plating with or without interfragmentary screw(s).
