Risk Factors of Proximal Screw Breakage of Locking Plate (ZPLP ® ) after MIPO for Distal Femur Fractures -Analysis of Patients with Plate Removal after Bony Union.

Advanced age, dominant side, use of the cortical screw as the uppermost screw, and higher plate-screw density were related to proximal screw breakage. When the plate is removed after bony union or delayed union is shown in these situations, the possibility of proximal screw breakage should be kept in mind.
