Osteosynthesis using modified oblique locking T-plate and autogenous iliac bone graft results in good to excellent outcomes with the functional improvement for symptomatic nonunions of type II fractures of the distal clavicle. Our method may be primarily considered an useful alternative for symptomatic nonunions of type II distal clavicle fractures, and bone grafting should be considered in all cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
