Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Which clavicle anatomical plate or reconstruction plate is more suitable for midshaft clavicle fracture is a problem.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of clavicle anatomical plates and reconstruction plates in treating midshaft clavicle fracture by MIPO technique.
METHODS: Fifty-six patients with midshaft clavicle fracture treated with clavicle anatomical plates or universal reconstruction ribbon plates were retrospectively reviewed. We planned to investigate the operation time, fracture healing, functions and complications.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 56 patients had bone healing. Operation time of the anatomical plates group was shorter than that of the reconstruction ribbon plates group. All patients had no complications, such as nonunion and infection. There were two cases of screw loosing separately in the two groups. There was no statistic difference in Neer scores and visual analog scale scores. Closed reduction and internal fixation with clavicle anatomical plates and universal reconstruction ribbon plates have the similar outcome. The easy operation is the advantage of the former, and the latter can be used in irregular or oblique fractures.
