Effects of Hybrid Plating With Locked and Nonlocked Screws on the Strength of Locked Plating Constructs in the Osteoporotic Diaphysis

Background:Hybrid plating (HP) may improve fixation strength of locked plating (LP) constructs by combining the use of locked and nonlocked screws within a bone segment. This biomechanical study evaluated whether a hybrid bridge plating construct provides greater fixation strength than an all-locked
