Treatment of Displaced Lateral Clavicle Fractures Using a Locking Compression Plate With Lateral Extension

Germany20 participantsStarted 2011-06

Plain-language summary

Treatment of lateral fractures of the clavicle is challenging and has been controversially discussed for a long time due to high non-union rates in non-operative treatment and high complication rates in surgical treatment. A recently developed implant was proven to ensure a biomechanically sufficient fixation of fractures leading to bony union and promising functional outcome in a small collective of patients.
