Step‐Cut Clavicle Osteotomy and T‐Shaped Iliac Crest Graft for Clavicle Nonunion Using 3‐Dimensionally Planned Custom‐Made Surgical Guides and Plate Fixation

Arthroscopy Techniques | 2025 | Antonio Arenas‐Miquelez, Alejandro Almoguera‐Martinez

Abstract Clavicle fractures are common, with nonunion rates reaching up to 31% without surgery. Surgical treatment with plate fixation and iliac crest autograft enhances healing, yet accurate reconstruction remains challenging owing to clavicular morphology. This study presents a surgical technique using virtual surgical planning to create 3‐dimensionally printed patient‐specif...

Osteosynthesis using a scorpion plate and a shaped bone graft for distal clavicle nonunion with bone defect: a case report

Journal of Surgical Case Reports | 2025 | Takeaki Hashimoto, Ryogo Furuhata, Taiki Sato, Yusuke Shiba

Abstract Unstable distal clavicle fractures often develop symptomatic nonunion following conservative treatment; however, cases in which bone defect occurs at the site of nonunion are rare. We report a case of distal clavicle nonunion with a bone defect that was treated with osteosynthesis using a scorpion plate and a shaped bone graft. A 66-year-old man presented with symptoma...

Revision Clavicle Fracture ORIF with Bone Graft from the Distal Clavicle Utilizing BioBrace

Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation | 2023 | Gregory Colbath, Emily German

Introduction Clavicle fractures are among the most common fractures. Nonunion fracture of the clavicle has traditionally been treated with autograft from the iliac crest, although it has been proposed that distal clavicle autograft would have less morbidities associated. Case Report Patient presented with a left midshaft clavicle fracture with broken hardware from previous open...

Nonunion of Clavicle Treated with Precontoured Locking Compression Plate Fixation and Bone Grafting

Journal of Orthopaedic Diseases and Traumatology | 2022 | Nissar Ahmad Shah, Nisar Ahmad Dar, Badoo Abdul Rashid

Background: Plate fixation with bone grafting is the treatment of choice for nonunion of the clavicle and the use of precontoured locking compression plate (LCP) has been proposed to have an advantage of minimal hardware prominence and low rate of implant removal surgery. Materials and Methods: The retrospective analysis was performed to assess the long-term efficacy of precont...
