Locked plating leads to improved fixation in osteoporotic bone. In addition, experimental data suggest that overall construct stiffness is increased. Ideal stiffness may be significantly less than that achieved with these locked constructs, and overly stiff constructs may lead to impaired fracture healing and stress concentration at the ends of the plate. In osteoporotic bone, this stiffness mismatch can be even more pronounced. We hypothesized that substituting slots for holes in the near cortex under a locked plate would lead to predictably lower stiffness without diminishing implant stability.
