Small fragment plates and screws are orthopedic implants used for fixing medium-sized bone fractures such as clavicle, humerus, ulna, fibula, etc.

 

The screws used with small fragment plates are also smaller in size and have a lower profile compared to those used with larger plates. They are designed to fit within the smaller holes of the plate and into the smaller bone fragments. The screws provide stabilization and compression to promote bone healing.

 

Small fragment plates and screws offer stability and fixation to help align and immobilize fractured bone fragments. They aid in the healing process by maintaining the proper alignment and supporting the fractured bone segments during the recovery period. These implants are typically left in place unless they cause any issues or complications.
