Plate Application Strategy: Forces, Failures & Fixation Fundamentals

In this high-yield episode of BoardCast, we explore the strategy behind plate application — from choosing the right plate to understanding how and why implants fail.

You’ll learn:

• The physics of tension vs. compression and why placement matters
• Working length: what it is, how it affects compliance, and when flexibility helps or hurts
• Biomechanics of different plating techniques: compression, neutralization, bridging, and elastic osteosynthesis
• Failure modes: bending, fatigue, screw pullout — and how locking plates shift the risk
• How interlocking nails stack up against plates and when to combine constructs

This is not just for board prep — it’s a must-have foundation for surgical success.
