The Osteosynthesis of Unstable Fractures of the Distal Clavicle with Hook Plate

摘要

Objectives:The conservative treatment of unstable fractures of the distal clavicle associated with higher nonunion rates. Although many treatment modalities have been described for these unstable fractures, there isn’t a golden standard one. Although osteosynthesis of the fractures with hook plate known a treatment option its special problems regarded the design of the implant. Aim of the study: To show f effectiveness of the hook plate osteosynthesis in treatment of unstable fractures of the distal clavicle with early removal of the implant to prevent possible complications.
