Metaphyseal Screw Augmentation of the LISS-PLT Plate With Polymethylmethacrylate Improves Angular Stability in Osteoporotic Proximal Third Tibial Fractures

Abstract

This biomechanical study showed that cement augmentation of the LISS-PLT plate screws in osteoporotic proximal extraarticular tibial fractures significantly lowers the propensity toward screw migration and secondary varus displacement.
