Definitive Management of Open Clavicle Fracture with Locking Compression Plate as External Fixator

External fixation with LCP for clavicle fracture is a simple procedure and can be used as a definitive treatment for Type III B open clavicle fracture. Advantages include anatomical reduction, less bulk, and stable fixation. It causes less skin irritation and is comfortable to the patient ensuring good patient compliance until removal. However, the pre-operative planning and surgical technique, such as plate length, the number of locking screws, screw positioning, and locking technique, should aim to create stable fixation and avoid excessive screw penetration.
