What did studies of Polyaxial locking plate find?
3Studies of Polyaxial locking plate measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are femoral head necrosis (1 study), femoral neck shortening (1) and harris hip score (1).
Femoral head necrosis
no changein humans1
1 study
Femoral head necrosis
no changein humans1
Polyaxial locking plate has no effect on femoral head necrosis in humans (0 cases in group A versus 1 case in group B; P=1.000).
“There was no significant difference in the rate of femoral head necrosis between 2 groups”

Femoral neck shortening
downin humans1
Polyaxial locking plate prevents femoral neck shortening in humans (No shortening in group A; degree I, II, and III shortening in 3, 2, and 8 cases of group B, respectively).
“it has advantages in preventing neck shortening and improving hip joint function after operation.”
