• Tapered end for submuscular plate insertion, minimizing tissue trauma Uniform stiffness • Allows smooth contouring of the plate to the bone (Figure 2) • Protects the plate from localized high bending stress, because of the even distribution of stresses over a long distance along the plate Bone loss observed beneath a full-contact plate1, 2
