18、nitionsGeometric:3.1.1 auto compressiona type of bone plate that by itsdesign can generate a compressive force between adjacentunconnected bone fragments through the use of one or moreramped holes or another type of slot geometry. This ramp orslot geometry contacts the underside of the screw head, a
19、ndinduces compressive force as the screw is inserted and tight-ened to the bone plate.3.1.2 bone platea metallic device with two or more holesor slot(s), or both, and a cross section that consists of at leasttwo dimensions (width and thickness) which generally are notthe same in magnitude. The devic
20、e is intended to providealignment and fixation of two or more bone sections, primarilyby spanning the fracture or defect. The device is typically fixedto the bone through the use of bone screws or cerclage wire. Apartial list of general types of bone plates is given in Section4.1.3.1.3 bone plate le

For a bone plate with acrescent sectio

Classification4.1 Bone plates used in general orthopaedic surgery can becategorized into general types according to the followingclassifications.4.1.1 cloverleaf platea bone plate that has one three-lobedend which contains screw holes.4
29、.1.2 cobra head platea bone plate that has one flaredtriangular or trapezoidal end which contains multiple screwholes or slots, or both. This type of bone plate is often used forhip arthrodesis.4.1.3 reconstruction platea bone plate that does not havea uniform width, but usually has a smaller cross-
30、sectionbetween the screw holes or slots. The reduced cross-sectionbetween screw holes/slots facilitates contouring the bone platein several planes. Reconstruction plates are often used infractures of the pelvis and acetabulum.4.1.4 straight platea bone plate with uniform width and astraight longitud
31、inal axis. Straight plates are often used forfractures of the diaphysis of long bones.4.1.5 tubular platea bone plate whose cross-section re-sembles a portion of a tube, and which has a constant thicknessor a crescent section. Tubular plates are often used for fracturesof the smaller long bones (tha
32、t is, radius, ulna, fibula).3Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.org.F 382 99 (2008)125.
