In this BoardsCast episode, we tackle one of the most frustrating failures in orthopedic repair — a broken plate. From strain concentration to screw density and fatigue over time, this episode breaks down how good implants go bad and how to prevent it.

You’ll learn:

• The three major reasons why plates fail postoperatively
• Why implant fatigue is almost always a time + stress equation
• The role of screw density, positioning, and load sharing
• How over-engineering the construct can increase failure
• What to look for radiographically before the break happens
• How to plan a revision — or avoid needing one

Perfect for boards prep or case troubleshooting, this episode arms you with a mechanical mindset to protect your next repair.
