Official title:
Treatment of Displaced Lateral Clavicle Fractures Using a Locking Compression Plate With Lateral Extension - Clinical Observational Study
Treatment of lateral fractures of the clavicle is challenging and has been controversially discussed for a long time due to high non-union rates in non-operative treatment and high complication rates in surgical treatment. A recently developed implant was proven to ensure a biomechanically sufficient fixation of fractures leading to bony union and promising functional outcome in a small collective of patients.
Treatment of lateral fractures of the clavicle is challenging and has been controversially
discussed for a long time due to high non-union rates in non-operative treatment and high
complication rates in surgical treatment. A recently developed implant was proven to ensure
a biomechanically sufficient fixation of fractures leading to bony union and promising
functional outcome in a small collective of patients.
In this prospective study patients with dislocated fractures of the lateral clavicle
(Jäger&Breitner I-III, Neer I-III) are enrolled. All patients are surgically treated using
the locking compression plate (LCP) for the superior anterior clavicle (Synthes®).
Functional outcome is recorded using the Munich Shoulder Questionnaire (MSQ) allowing for
qualitative self-assessment of the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), of the
Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score and of the Constant Score.
Acromioclavicular joint stability is evaluated using the Taft-Score.
