Background: As nonoperative treatment of Neer type II distal clavicle fractures is associated
with nonunion rates up to 33%, operative treatment is frequently advocated. However …

Introduction Non-operative treatment of displaced distal clavicle fractures results in high non-
union and yet there is no consensus on superior treatment modality. While there are a …

Background This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of distal
clavicle fracture fixation with a hook plate versus the standard non-locking T-plate for …

Purpose: We sought to analyze the biomechanical effects which both different numbers and
locations of screws have on three different clavicle hook plates, as well as any possible …

Background Lateral clavicle fractures account for 17% of all clavicle fractures and large
studies comparing nonoperative and operative treatment are lacking. Therefore, patients …

Background The need for coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization in the fixation of fractures with
CC instability (Neer type IIB and V) was biomechanically demonstrated by higher construct …

Materials and methods A total of 1075 consecutive patients with distal clavicle fractures were
selected from five university-affiliated hospitals between 2012 and 2022. The distal fragment …

Objective Endobutton technique could provide flexible coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization for
acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation and achieved good clinical outcomes. However …

Background Bipolar clavicle injury is a rare injury involving any combination of dislocation
and/or fracture at both ends of the clavicle. Most reports of bipolar clavicle injury have been …

The clavicle hook plate is commonly used in acromioclavicular injuries; however, the
biomechanical effect of the posterior hook offset and hook position is unclear. This study …
