“…Malunion following conservative treatment of clavicle fracture can also result in persistent pain and loss of normal range of shoulder motion [5]. Surgical approaches for treating clavicle fractures include the use of reconstruction plates, tension band wires, dynamic compression plates, elastic-stable intramedullary nailing, Bosworth screws, Knowles pin, semitubular plates and k-wire fixation as well as anatomic preformed plates according to Meves [6–8]. However, in this context the current literature describes numerous complications due to metal implants, but also soft tissue problems and failure of union after surgical treatment for clavicular non-union [9, 10].…”

Background: Treatment of clavicular non-and malunion is still challenging. Current surgical procedures often result in frustrating functional outcome along with high-grade subjective impairment and increased rates of revision surgery. However, the combination of biological augmentation with vital bone graft and a biomechanically sufficient fixation system seems to be a promising concept of treatment. Methods: In this retrospective study, 14 patients with a mean age of 44 years (26-67 years) suffering from non-union (n = 11) and/or malunion (n = 3) of the clavicle were enrolled. All patients were surgically treated using an anatomical precontoured locking compression plate (LCP) and autologous iliac crest bone graft. Functional outcome was assessed using the age-and sex-specific relative Constant Score.

Although there was no complete congruency between the plates and the clavicle, all clavicle plates investigated in this study presented a reasonable anatomical shape. The 7‑hole VariAx Stryker plate with slight curvature showed the best anatomical fit. A low profile and optimized anatomical precontouring can minimize irritation of the surrounding soft tissues and should be considered in plate design and implant choice.

The anatomical precontoured Meves compression plate

Abstract: In our patients, secure healing of clavicular nonunion was achieved with the anatomical precontoured Meves plate, with good or excellent clinical outcomes.
