Biomechanical studies (7) were the most common, followed by clinical case series (7), comparative studies (4), and finite element analyses (3). European institutions contributed to the majority of research, with additional studies from Asia and South America. No randomized controlled trials were found. Helical plates demonstrated comparable stability to straight plates, with distinct biomechanical advantages: superior torsional resistance in femoral fractures and improved neurovascular safety in humeral fractures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Helical plates offer a viable alternative to straight plates in long bone fractures, particularly for protecting neurovascular structures. Optimal designs vary by location, with 45\u00b0 helical plates recommended for humeral minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis, 180\u00b0 helical plates for young patients with femoral fractures, and 90\u00b0 helical plates in geriatric double plating constructs.
