Department of Traumatology, Department of Orthopaedics, John Hunter Hospital, University of Newcastle, Newcastle, NSW, Australia Abstract The goal of fracture fixation is to achieve bone healing and restore the function of the injured limb in the shortest possible time without compromising safety. Newer technologies such as the locking compression plate (LCP) and its derivatives are valuable additions to the orthopaedic traumatologists armamentarium. As with any emerging technology, the indications will be extended until a threshold is reached and the limitations of the technology are seen.
