Screws and Plates are an example of what?

• A. Sutures
• B. Screws and Plates
• C. Derm
• D. Osteo

Answer: (B)

Screws and plates are orthopedic implants used to stabilize bone during healing. They’re metallic devices placed into bone to hold fracture fragments in proper alignment and provide stable fixation, which helps the bone heal more predictably and can allow earlier movement. This distinguishes them from sutures (which close soft tissue), derm (skin), or terms relating strictly to bone tissue. In practice, screws and plates are classic examples of implanted orthopedic hardware used in fracture repair and reconstructive procedures.
