This book is the first comprehensive textbook that explains the new internal fixator principles using locking compression plates (LCP) and the less invasive stabilization system (LISS).

Surgeons from all around the world have contributed over 110 cases that illustrate the clinical application in all relevant anatomical areas and also explain the different methods in which the LCP can be applied.

• As a conventional plate using only the dynamic compression unit of the combination
hole and standard cortex screws.

• As a pure internal fixator using locking head screws only.

The book also addresses the critical issue of combining screws.

This unique case collection of 117 step-by-step cases is a practical hands-on guide and reference book for every clinician.

“Locking plates, internal fixators, new concepts in plate fixation are confusing all of us! At last help is available from the experts. Based on the principles of fracture biology and mechanics, this book uses modern day educational techniques through case studies to provide us with a resolution to our confusion over these new concepts. This book is a must for all fracture surgeons to read in order to be able to place this new concept in the proper place in their fracture surgery armamentarium.”
