Die Dynamische Kopfverriegelungsschraube – DLS (Dynamic Locking Screw) – eine Weiterentwicklung der winkelstabilen Plattenosteosynthese

Background: The plate-screw-interface of an angular stable plate osteosynthesis is very rigid. So far all attempts to decrease the stiffness of locked plating construct, e.g. the bridged plate technique, decrease primarily the bending stiffness. Thus, the interfragmentary motion increases only on the far cortical side by bending the plate.
