As the spherical head of the screw strikes the rearedge of the hole in the plate, the screw, (and the attached bone) areforced away from the edge of the hole and towards the fracture site.The object of compression is to provide for primary bone union. A specialguide must be used to position accurately the screw hole within the plate.The oval shaped holes in DCP’s allow a greater range of screwangulations than round hole plates. Cortical screws are available in bothtapped and self tapping formats.AO type screws and plates have, for many years, been the human and veterinary standard implants.They were originally designed in the 1950s by the AO study group [Arbeitsgemeinschaft fürOsteosynthesefragen (English: Association for the Study of Internal Fixation, AO/ASIF) ] which continuesto this day to lead the world in implant design. The design of the spherical screw head and thecompression hole are particularly important as, unless made to very exacting specifications, they will notwork properly together.The composition and design of AO type implants are laid down in very detailed international standards.The specification for plates and screws are detailed below. Provided implants are made to theseexacting standards it is safe to mix and match sources. Be very wary about using implants which maynot comply.MaterialsBS 7252-1:1997 ISO 5832-1:1997BS 7252-3:1997 ISO 5832-3:1996BS 7252-9:1993 ISO 5832-9:1992BS ISO 5832-2:1999Bone ScrewsBS 3531-5.3:1991, ISO 5835:1991BS 3531-5.6:1991, ISO 6475:1989BS 3531-5.4:1993, ISO 9268:1988Metallic materials for surgical implants.
