There are four types of clavicle Locking Plate used for clavicular fracture, lateral clavicular malunion, lateral clavicular nonunion, clavicular fracture combined with cadre fracture.
Clavicle hook locking plate
S-clavicle locking compression plate
Distal clavicular locking plate
S-type clavicular compression locking plate
Clavicular hook plate is a special type of plate with a transverse hook on one side, the hook is towards the lateral side, and the acromion is hooked. The medial plate is equipped with a screw hole, which can fix the lateral clavicle and press the elevated lateral clavicle down. It is suitable for trauma such as lateral clavicle fracture or acromioclavicular joint dislocation. S-clavicle locking compression plate is suitable for the fixation of middle and proximal clavicular fractures.
Features and advantages
1. Using titanium manufacturing and advanced processing technology, titanium is more suitable as a raw material for orthopedic implants because of its good biocompatibility, high hardness and good corrosion resistance.
2. Surface anodized oxidation treatment to improve the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the locking plate.
3. Low profile and anatomical shape design better fits the shape of the clavicle and reduces the damage to the patient's surrounding tissue.
4. Locking screw and Cortical Screw can be selected at the same time for the combined hole.
5. Firm fixation, especially adequate fixation of the distal end of the clavicle, and automatic compression.
6. The rotation of the clavicle is allowed, which reduces the failure rate of the internal fixation and greatly reduces the incidence of pain during movement; Allow early mobility.
7. Titanium clavicle plate can avoid the stimulation of needle tail during Kirschner wire internal fixation, the gap between plate and bone surface can avoid the effect of periosteum on bone blood supply, accelerate the healing of fracture, and the direct contact between plate and bone can reduce tissue infection.
8. The strong holding force of the locking screw can reduce the screw loosening and falling off, and reduce the occurrence of complications.
9. S-type locking plate is consistent with the anatomical morphology of the clavicle, especially suitable for the fracture between the medial border of the coracoclavicular ligament and the outside of the costoclavicular ligament. It can enhance the strength and anti-fatigue function of the locking plate without bending and shaping.
10. The bone plate can avoid the periosteal compression of the common plate, so as not to affect the transport capacity of blood, reduce infection, and increase the clinical effect of internal fixation. Attention should be paid to the position of the S-type locking plate during the operation. The proximal clavicle is slightly elevated. In order to reduce the occurrence of postoperative subcutaneous protrusion and drilling, the plate is placed above the clavicle.
11. The small screw of the distal clavicle plate can achieve the purpose of multi-direction locking, maintain the balance of the screws, make the early internal fixation more firm, reduce the contact between the plate and the fracture surface, promote the formation of callus, improve the surgical effect, and is safe and reliable.
In conclusion, the clavicular hook locking plate has better stability, less stress stimulation on the fracture end, and no screw pullout phenomenon. So patients with distal clavicle fracture and acromioclavicular joint dislocation, when using internal fixation, most of the locking titanium alloy clavicular hook plate for fixation. Clavicle fracture is a common fracture in orthopedic trauma, accounting for 2.6%-4% of all adult fractures. Most of the fractures are located in the middle part of the clavicle, and the traditional conservative treatment has unsatisfactory fixation effect, poor satisfaction, and many complications (nonunion, persistent pain, limitation of movement, etc.).
The use of clavicular locking plate S-type can effectively avoid the recurrence and complications of clavicular fracture, promote fracture healing, and shorten the rehabilitation time. It is a safe, effective and convenient choice for the treatment of clavicle fractures. The use of distal clavicle locking plate in the treatment of distal clavicle fractures can effectively improve the shoulder joint function of patients, and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, with high safety, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
