An orthopedic external compression unit (100) having a locking plate unit and a method for locking and compressing the fractured bones (102) without contact and friction between plate (103) and bone (102), wherein the locking plate unit (101) comprises a locking plate (103), an external apparatus (104) and a holder (105), wherein the locking plate (103) includes plurality locking holes (106) and at least an elongated hole (107), wherein the holder (105) is placed at the elongated hole (107). The holder (105) is configured to hold the locking plate (103) above the bone (102) for enabling to make required movement of locking plate (103) in horizontal direction. Accordingly, fastening the compression unit (401) using a non-locking screw (411) to the plate (103) converts the vertical movement of head-screw into horizontal movement of connecting rod (408) of the compression unit (401), thereby enabling to move the plate (103) along with one end of fractured bone (102) towards the fractured site (110) thus producing compression between the fractured bones (102).
