Medial Clavicle Fracture Fixation Including the Sternum: A Case Report.

CASE: A 29-year-old man presented with a displaced medial clavicle fracture. Surgical repair was performed using a precontoured plate designed for the contralateral distal clavicle, and medial fixation was accomplished at the sternum. The patient had no complications and demonstrated full strength and range of motion at the 8-month follow-up.

CONCLUSION

Medial clavicle fractures with a small medial fragment can be immobilized using a plate designed for the contralateral distal clavicle that crosses the sternoclavicular joint to obtain medial fixation in the sternum. This technique may provide a viable treatment modality for this unique fracture pattern.
