Abstract
The use of locking plate technology in foot and ankle surgery has increased over the last decade. Reported applications include fracture repair, deformity correction, and arthrodesis. There is limited evidence, however, to guide clinicians with regard to the appropriate and optimal use of this technology. This work aims to examine the current biomechanical and clinical evidence comparing locking construct technology to other forms of fixation in the field of foot and ankle surgery.
