What Is a Cable Locking System and How Does It Work?

 A cable locking system is an advanced method used in orthopedic surgery to fix complex bone fractures. It combines strong metal cables with locking plates to provide secure and stable support. This system is especially useful when traditional screws don’t work well, like near joint implants or in fragile bones. The cable is wrapped around the bone, tightened, and locked in place to hold everything together. It allows for better healing and early movement after surgery. Surgeons use it in cases like hip fractures, clavicle injuries, and tumor-related bone repairs. The technique is minimally invasive and helps preserve bone structure. It’s a smart solution for difficult fracture treatments.
