Spanish term or phrase: placa bloqueada
Hello,
I'm translating an autopsy about a deceased person who had a fall. The report refers to an operation on the patient in which:
"se realiza reduccion abierta y fijacion externa con placa bloqueada"
I don't know how to translate "placa bloqueada" here.
Thank you

English translation:locking plate
Explanation:
A locking plate is a good option, especially in osteoporotic bone and for fractures with a short end segment. Such a locking plate need not be contoured to fit the bone precisely since it functions as an internal fixator. Attaching it to the bone does not alter fracture alignment, since the screws do not pull the main bone fragments to the implant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate patients who had open reduction and external fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures with supercutaneous calcaneal locking plates used as external fixators.

Locking plate: A plate with threaded screw holes that allow mechanical coupling to a locking head screw. The AO Less Invasive Stabilisation System (LISS) will accept only this type of screw,. whilst AO Locking Compression Plates (LCP) have a combination hole that will accept normal screw heads or threaded screw heads. See Angular Stability

agree  Joseph Tein: Hi Donal. Agree with this, but it also appears that "locking plate" would work as well.

agree  Joseph Tein: It looks like both "locked" and "locking" plate are used for this. Good references.
