The reinforcement plates support the bone that is unstable in axial flexion or compression. These plates are used for fractures in which the impacted fragments must be raised to restore the articular surface (for example, the distal radius and fractures of the tibial plateau). Then a buttress or support plate is used to keep these fragments elevated at the desired site. Its use is complemented mainly with spongy screws. The plates can be grouped by shape generally in those with special and straight shapes.hh
