Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using lower
profile 2.4/2.4 mm and 2.0/2.4 mm dual mini-fragment plate constructs for fixation of …

Background: Implant-related symptoms are the most common reason for reoperation after
open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of midshaft clavicular fractures. Dual mini …

Objectives: To compare precontoured (Pc) small fragment plating to dual mini-fragment
plating (DmF) for open reduction and internal fixation of diaphyseal clavicle fractures …

Background We sought to evaluate clinical and biomechanical outcomes of dual mini-
fragment plate fixation for clavicle fractures. We hypothesized that this technique would …

Background Implant removal rates after clavicle plating are high. Recently, low-profile dual
mini-fragment plate constructs have revealed lower implant removal rates following fixation …

Objectives: To determine the proportion of patients requiring secondary surgery for
symptomatic implant removal after open reduction, internal fixation using dual mini-fragment …

Background: Dual-plate constructs have become an increasingly common fixation technique
for midshaft clavicle fractures and typically involve the use of mini-fragment plates. The goal …

The treatment of midshaft clavicle fractures continues to evolve, with a variety of fixation
techniques and constructs used. Symptomatic hardware is a common complication related …

Objectives To biomechanically compare the stiffness of midshaft synthetic clavicle
osteotomies fixed with either superior anatomic pre-contoured locking plates, anterior …

Background Recently, a new generation of superior clavicle plates was developed featuring
the variable angle locking technology for enhanced screw positioning and a less prominent …
