New surgical approach for distal clavicle fractures: A case report

One year later, imaging revealed complete healing of the fracture, and the hook plate was removed. The patient was satisfied with the course and treatment results. Additionally, a new classification system was proposed based on the degree of injury to the distal clavicle joint surface. The incidence of postoperative complications associated with the use of hook plates for clavicular fracture treatment is relatively high. Complications can be reduced by changing the hook plate placement.
