Objectives: To describe the minimally invasive locking plate approach for midshaft clavicular fractures and report our radiographic and clinical results.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated fifteen patients (12 men and 3 women, mean age: 32.4 years [range 17-51]) with clavicular fractures who underwent minimally invasive superior locking plate osteosynthesis and reduction. According to the Allman classification of clavicular fractures, 12 patients had a type I fracture, while 3 had a type II fracture.
Results: The average operating time was 53 minutes (range 51-65). Union was achieved in all patients in an average of 13.3 weeks (range 12-15). Patients were satisfied with cosmetic and functional results.
Conclusions: This study shows that the minimally invasive superior locking plate approach for midshaft clavicular fractures can be a reproducible procedure and an alternative to conventional surgical approaches. Clinical and radiological results were achieved without major complications or wound dysesthesia.
