Problems such as union or delayed non-union, new fractures caused by the weakness of the bone structure, fractures across the screw holes due to a concentration of pressure, are overcome by the system of claw-plates. This system minimises the trauma caused by the retention of the reduced position of the bone fracture and, at the same time, ensures an optimal environment in the area of the fracture so that regeneration of the bone takes place. The creation of this plate, which does not require screws, enables the avoidance of any supplementary damage to the fractured bone and insures and preserves blood circulation all the way to the area of the fracture, a feature which is of utmost importance to the primary regeneration of the bone. The design of the piece is such that during the stabilization of the fracture, the bone experiences a physiological micro-movement. This will aid in regaining normal bone structure (lines of pressure). This system of claw-plaques has been used since 1979 and clinical results show that the healing time of the fracture is reduced 25%. The complication rate is very low, even over a long period. This direct operative technique for inserting the plate saves time Indications Osteosynthesis of fractures using prosthetic stems. Advantages Simple operative technique which saves time. Quick strengthening without complications, without having to observe the effects of the protection of tension osteo-porosis under the plaque with X-ray tests. Optimal circumstances maintained throughout process of regeneration. Physiological movement optimising the restoration of the bone structure, which hinders tension protection.
