As the screws are tightened, they " Lock" to the plate, thus stabilizing the segments without the need to compress the bone to the plate. This makes it impossible for the screw insertion to after the reduction. The possible advantages to this property of a locking plate and screw system is a decreased incidence of inflammatory complications from loosening of hardware.
