The locking screw concept was produced by Dr. Tepic S and Dr. Perren SM for the first time in 1995. With locking compression plate put in use, it became one of the most important developments for plate and screw internal fixation in recent years. Locking screws provide the ability to create a fixed-angle construct while utilizing familiar conventional plating techniques. The fixed-angle construct function like an internal fixator which maintains primary and secondary loss of reduction. This kind of construct also provides improved fixation in osteopenic bone or multifragment fractures where traditional screw purchase is compromised. LCP constructs do not rely on plate-to-bone compression to maintain stability. Therefore, the periosteum will be protected and the blood supply to the bone preserved. With these distinguished improvements.

Q
What are the primary benefits of the LCP (Locking Compression Plate) system?
The LCP system features Combi-holes that allow the placement of conventional cortex/cancellous screws on one side and threaded locking screws on the other. It behaves like a fixed-angle internal fixator that prevents loss of reduction and protects the periosteum and blood supply since it does not rely on plate-to-bone compression.
