Abstract

Purpose: We aimed to assess the possibility and feasibilities in the treatment of clavicle midpiece fracture by minimally invasive with percutaneous locking reconstitution plate.

Methods: Total 29 cases of patients with clavicle midpiece fractures were reviewed including 13 males and 16 females. All the patients were treated by minimally invasive with locking reconstitution plates.

Results: All the patients showed satisfaction of the appearance of incision and union of all the fractures. One case suffered fixation device failure and 3 cases suffered skin irritation responses.

Conclusion: The minimally invasive with locking reconstruction plate is a good option for clavicle midpiece fractures treatment with good fracture healing.

Keywords: Clavicle midpiece fractures; Locking reconstitution plate; Minimally invasive.
