Purpose

Open reduction and plate fixation of displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures has gained significant popularity following a recent multi-center randomized control trial. The purpose of this study is to describe the incidence of reoperation following plate fixation of displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures. The secondary objective is to determine if plate design influences the incidence of reoperation.

Method

A retrospective search of our hospital database was performed to identify subjects treated with plate fixation for a displaced clavicle fracture between 2001 and 2009. Radiographs and medical records were used to identify demographic data, fracture classification, plate design, and reoperation events. Only mid-shaft (AO/OTA 15-B) fractures treated with either a Low-Contact Dynamic Compression (LCDC) plate or Pre-contoured Locking (PCL) plate were included.
