Lateral clavicle fractures: grid pattern arrangement of screws in the lateral fracture fragment reduces the cut-out
The use of additional screws from anterior led in a significant lower cut-out and higher biomechanical stability at the lateral clavicle regarding axial tensile forces. From a biomechanical point of view, plates for stabilization of lateral clavicle fractures with additional screw holes from anterior and restoring the cc-bands is favorable to standard plates with screws from the top of the clavicle only.
