Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of a Middle Third Clavicle Fracture with a Superior Plate

Full Video Article: http://surgicaltechniques.jbjs.org/co... Open reduction and internal fixation has become a reliable technique to treat complex middle-third clavicle fractures (AO/OTA B-15). Nonoperative treatment of these fractures may result in higher rates of symptomatic malunion, nonunion, dissatisfaction with cosmetic appearance, and even dysfunction and muscular weakness. Risk factors such as substantial displacement or comminution, far lateral fractures, fractures in the elderly, open fractures, or those occurring in polytrauma scenarios are appropriate indications for surgery. The aim of the procedure is to reconstitute the initial curvature and length of the clavicle, restore a normal connection from the arm to the axial skeleton, and provide stable fixation of the proximal and distal fragments, to allow an immediate full range of motion during rehabilitation.
