Biomechanical analysis of locked and non-locked plate fixation of the clavicle

Abstract Introduction During plate fixation of clavicular fractures the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels are vulnerable to injury beneath the clavicle. Locking plate fixation allows for mono-cortical fixation, theoretically reducing the risk of injury to these structures. Biomechanical analysi...
