Comparative Analysis of Minimally Invasive Versus Open Reduction Plate Osteosynthesis Using a Superior Clavicle Plate in Clavicle Shaft Fractures
This minimally invasive technique, using a superior clavicle plate with lateral extension for clavicle shaft fractures, achieved clinical outcomes and bone union rates that were comparable to those of open reduction plate osteosynthesis, while also offering the advantages of shorter operation time, reduced blood loss, and a lower risk of hypoesthesia.
