Plate benders are used in pairs and are the most economic method of plate contouring. The accurate contouring of plates is essential in precise fracture reduction. Bone plates however are quite stiff and marking of plates during the bending process will lead to reduced fatigue strength. It is important to remember that contoured plates should be placed with adequate support to minimise cyclical loading.
