Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To introduce material science characteristics and clinical application of bone plate. METHODS: The first author retrieved PubMed Database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (http://www.cnki.net/) and Wanfang Database (http://www.wanfangdata.com.cn) for articles addressing material science characteristics and clinical application of bone plate published from 2000 to 2009. The key words included "bone plate, material science characteristics, biocompatibility, clinical application". Testing articles with reliable argument and evidence as well as close topic were included, and simultaneously, non-original articles were excluded. Ultimately, 25 articles were included. We arranged and analyzed material science characteristics, clinical application, advantages and disadvantages of bone plate. RESULTS: From the material science characteristics, the elastic modulus of bone plate should be close to skeleton so as to reduce stress occlusion effects. In clinical application, we should pad attention to the bonding of biological fixation and mechanical fixation to improve plate structure, resulting in decrease in contacting area of plate and skeleton to diminish or prevent osteoporosis in local regions. CONCLUSION: Presently, bone plate materials mainly contain stainless steel, cobalt alloy and titanium alloy in clinic with their advantages and disadvantages. Among them, medical titanium alloy is an ideal in vivo implant. In clinical application, less invasive stabilization plate provides a powerful technique security for early recovery of motor function following fracture, and shows a spacious application prospect.
