A biomechanical comparison of hook plate vs. superolateral locking plate with coracoclavicular suture fixation for distal third clavicle fractures with coracoclavicular ligament disruption
SLP with CC suture fixation constructs provide superior biomechanical stability compared to HPs in Neer type IIb fractures, with less displacement and greater failure strength under load. These results support the clinical use of SLP with CC suture fixation as a robust alternative to traditional hook plating.
