Primary stability of nailing versus low-profile dual plating of mid-clavicular fractures– a biomechanical cadaveric study
Low-profile dual plating may offer improved initial stability of midshaft clavicle fractures without compromising their long-term performance, making it a promising alternative to elastic nailing. In selected patients with simpler unstable midshaft clavicle fractures, 2 × 2.0 mm dual plating may offer effective biomechanical stability.
