Locking plate combined with titanium cable for Neer type II distal clavicle fractures

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders Mar 19, 2021

Zhang F, Fu Q, Li Y, et al. - A retrospective case series study was performed to assess the clinical outcomes of this new strategy in treating Neer type II distal clavicle fractures. Researchers treated 31 individuals with Neer type II distal clavicle fracture with a distal clavicle locking plate and a titanium cable. They evaluated clinical outcomes for union rate, functional score, and complication rate. For the treatment of Neer type II fractures, the use of a distal clavicle locking plate in combination with a titanium cable results in a high union rate, a low complication rate, and good shoulder function. According to the findings, this combined surgical strategy can be considered an effective method for treating unstable distal clavicle fractures.
