Locking conical coupling plates in small animal orthopedics: A review

Renato Otaviano do Rego et al. Top Companion Anim Med. 2023 Sep-Dec.

Abstract

Conical coupling locking plates (CCP) have become an interesting alternative in veterinary orthopedics and traumatology. Available data in this regard, however, must be interpreted with caution, and several studies are still required to reach definitive conclusions on the clinical use of these implants. In this context, this review aims to discuss CCP applications and mechanical aspects in small animals and summarize in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo study results.
