The difference is that branded imported plates have gone through a rigorous process of testing of material strength and design and uniform manufacturing process before being sold while local plates dont have a rigorous testing module and uniform system of manufacturing. Having said that, I have rarely come across a plate breakage for the fracture u have and the plate is there to hold the fracture only till the fracture unites in it's optimal position, after that it has outlived it's usefulness. Titanium again is stronger than stainless steel and u can even do an mRI of the wrist with titanium implants in situ. I hope that helps u decide.
