Current Orthopaedic Practice Apr 26, 2019

Kariya AD, et al. - Using precontoured and reconstruction plates, the results, and complications of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures fixed were evaluated in subjects with Robinson Type 2B fractures of the clavicle. Between the reconstruction plate group and precontoured plate group, researchers found no significant difference in functional outcomes with Constant score: 85.23 vs 86.75, respectively. Although, they noted significantly higher rate of hardware prominence (32.6% vs 7.3%, respectively), implant removal (15.2% vs 2.9%, respectively), and reoperation (19.5% vs 4.4%, respectively) with reconstruction plates vs precontoured plates.
