Abstract

Objective: Current literature describes improved clinical outcomes and a minor rate of pseudoarthrosis following operatively treated clavicular fractures. We investigated the feasibility of using a standard 3.5 mm AO locking compression plate (LCP) of adequate length for the stabilisation of mid-shaft fractures of the clavicle. Methods: The length and acromial and diaphyseal curvature depths were measured in 49 cadaveric clavicles. We then assessed how well the 6, 7, 8 and 9-hole plates fit on the clavicles. Results: The mean clavicular length was 155±12 mm, with a mean acromial curvature of 18.1± 3.7 mm and a mean diaphyseal curvature of 12 mm±4 mm. The optimum plate for the clavicle was a 7-hole LCP, providing adequate fixation in 48 of the 49 clavicles. Conclusion: The described technique for plate osteosynthesis of the clavicle with AO locking compression plate is feasible and results in a biomechanically strong construct for mid-shaft fractures. With the use of a locking plate, comminuted fractures may be bridged without a reduction in the strength of the construct.

Özet

Amaç: Cerrahi olarak tedavi edilen klavikula kırıklarında klinik sonuçların iyi ve kaynamama riskinin düşük olduğu bilinmektedir. Çalışmamızda klavikula orta diafiz kırıklarının osteosentezinde standart 3.5 mm’lik AO kilitli kompresyon plaklarının kullanılabilirliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Çalışma Planı: Kırkdokuz kadavra klavikulasının uzunluğu ve akromiyal ve sternal taraftaki kavislerin derinlikleri ölçüldü. Daha sonra sırasıyla 6, 7, 8 ve 9 delikli kilitli kompresyon plakları nın klavikulaya nasıl oturdukları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ortalama klavikula uzunluğu 155±12 mm, ortalama akromiyal kavis derinliği 18.1±3.7 mm, ortalama sternal kavis derinliği ise 12±4 mm olarak saptandı. En uygun plağın, 49 klavikulanın 48’inde klavikula yapısına uyum sağlayan, 7 delikli kilitli kompresyon plağı oldu ğu görüldü. Çıkarımlar: Kilitli AO kompresyon plaklarının klavikula orta diafiz kırıklarında klavikula anatomisine uyum sağlayıp sağlam bir tespit alternatifi olabilecekleri görülmüştür. Parçalı kırıklarda da bu plaklarla köprüleme yapılarak sağlam bir tespit sağlanabilir.
