Plate Breakage Following Internal Fixation of Long Bone Diaphyseal Fractures: A 150-Case Analysis.

Findings suggest that prioritizing anatomical reduction and rigid fixation may contribute to plate breakage, potentially due to impaired biological healing. Adherence to contemporary AO principles, emphasizing relative stability and biological fixation techniques, may be crucial in preventing these complications. The study highlights the need for a balanced approach between mechanical stability and biological considerations in fracture management.
