A system of internal fixation of fractures is presented in which two new principles
are introduced simultaneously. Titanium is adopted as the material for the plates
and screws by virtue of its corrosion resistance and because its elasticity is nearer
to that of bone than is that of stainless steel. The second new principle is the provision
of sloping cylind-rical oval holes in the plate, so that driving home the spherical-headed
screws applies compression without the need for a separate compressor.
