Locking Clavicle Plate

Introduction

With the Locking Clavicle Plates, Acumed has designed a comprehensive solution for repairing fractures located from the middle third to the distal third of the clavicle. Standard ORIF procedures for clavicle fractures including pinning, reconstruction, and DC plating have historically provided less than desirable results. Traditional hardware frequently causes soft tissue irritation and/or fails prior to union, requiring a second procedure.

 

Plating the superior aspect of the clavicle has been found to be biomechanically the most stable. Designed in conjunction with William Geissler, M.D., the Locking Clavicle Plates offer a low profile solution for superior plating of the clavicle. Pre-contoured to match the natural S-shape of the clavicle, this titanium plate offers increased strength, with a rounded profile and a low-profile screw/plate interface. This design not only reduces OR time spent in contouring a plate but also minimizes soft tissue irritation for the patient.

Indications

The Locking Clavicle Plates are included in a comprehensive system of implants and instrumentation specifically designed to treat clavicle injuries. Multiple plate options are available to fit a wide variety of clavicle curvatures. For central one-third applications, there are five different lengths and curvatures in both left and right. Two specialized “J” Plates are included for distal/lateral fractures. Acumed´s locking instrumentation provides a quick, straightforward means of inserting the locking screws with accurate precision each and every time.
