Bilateral clavicle non-unions treated with anteroinferior locking compression plating (LCP): a case report.
نویسنده
چکیده
The author reports the case of a 30-year-old female patient with bilateral atrophic non-union of the clavicle; the latter both healed after internal fixation with a locking compression plate fixed on the anteroinferior aspect of the clavicle, combined with autologous cancellous bone grafting. The advantages of the anteroinferior positioning of the plate on the clavicle are presented.

Anatomically precontoured LCP for delayed union of a medial third clavicle fracture. Case report with review of the literature.
BACKGROUND Fractures of the medial clavicle third are rare injuries. Even in case of significant fracture displacement, their therapeutic management has been nonoperative. Recently, surgical intervention has become mandatory for displaced fractures types to prevent non-union and functional complaints, but the optimal operative strategy is being discussed controversially. CASE PRESENTATION We ...
متن کاملIs plating of mid-shaft clavicular fractures possible with a conventional straight 3.5 millimeter locking compression plate?
OBJECTIVES Current literature describes improved clinical outcomes and a minor rate of pseudoarthrosis following operatively treated clavicular fractures. We investigated the feasibility of using a standard 3.5 mm AO locking compression plate (LCP) of adequate length for the stabilisation of mid-shaft fractures of the clavicle. METHODS The length and acromial and diaphyseal curvature depths w...

BACKGROUND To compare the outcomes of reconstruction plate and reconstruction locking compression plate (LCP) for the treatment of clavicle midshaft fractures. METHODS Forty one patients with a clavicle midshaft fracture were treated by internal fixation with a reconstruction plate (19 patients) or reconstruction LCP (22 patients). The clinical and radiological results were evaluated accordin...
متن کاملFailure of Distal Femoral Locking Plate: Case Report
The Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) and titanium distal femoral locking compression plate (DF-LCP) was designed by the AO Group to combine the advantages of both interlocked intra-medullary nailing and biological plating techniques in one system. The stiffness of the construct is similar to a 95° condylar plate, dynamic condylar screw, or condylar buttress plate. We report a case of t...
متن کاملFunctional Results of Unstable (Type 2) Distal Clavicle Fractures Treated with Superior Anterior Locking Plate
Background: The treatment of distal clavicle fracture is always a challenge, as it is mostly unstable and has higherrate of delayed union, malunion, non-union and associated acromioclavicular arthritis. So the management of thesefractures remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional results of Type 2 distal endclavicle fractures treated with superior anterior l...
