PERRONE, Juan Martín et al. Fractura de clavícula: Técnica mínimamente invasiva. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2019, vol.84, n.1, pp.35-45. ISSN 1852-7434.

Objectives: To describe the minimally invasive locking plate approach for midshaft clavicular fractures, and report our radiographic and clinical results. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated fifteen patients (12 men and 3 women, mean age: 32.4 years [range 17-51]) with clavicular fractures who underwent minimally invasive superior locking plate osteosynthesis and reduction. According to Allman classification of clavicular fractures, 12 patients had a type I fracture, while 3 had a type II fracture. Results: The average operating time was 53 minutes (range 51-65). Union was achieved in all patients in an average of 13.3 weeks (range 12-15). Patients were satisfied with cosmetic and functional results. Conclusions: This study shows that minimally invasive superior locking plate approach for midshaft clavicular fractures can be a reproducible procedure and an alternative to conventional surgical approaches. Clinical and radiological results were achieved without major complications and wound dysesthesia.
