Mechanical failure of plate breakage after open reduction and plate fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fracture – a possible new risk factor: a case report
2019
Background
Plate breakage is one form of construct failure after a clavicle fracture treated with an open reduction and plate fixation. A recent study evaluated construct failure after an open reduction and plate fixation and reported a construct failure rate of 6.9% of which 1.9% were related to broken plates. Plate breakage is rare, thus, there are insufficient data regarding risk factors, pathogenesis, or how to avoid it.
