Titanium Distal Clavicular Locking Plate | Lateral Clavicle Fracture Fixation System

Overview of the Distal Clavicular Locking Plate

Fractures of the distal clavicle, particularly those classified as Neer Type II, present significant surgical challenges due to the deforming forces of the surrounding musculature and the small size of the distal bone fragment. OrthoPro introduces the Distal Clavicular Locking Plate, a specialized titanium implant designed to provide superior anatomical restoration and rigid fixation. This system is essential for trauma surgeons aiming to restore shoulder function and prevent non-union in complex lateral clavicle injuries.

Our clavicle locking system is developed with a focus on biomechanical stability. The plate sits on the superior aspect of the clavicle, utilizing a low-profile design that conforms naturally to the S-shape of the bone. This anatomical fit reduces the need for intraoperative bending and minimizes hardware prominence, which is critical in the clavicular region where soft tissue coverage is thin. As a trusted B2B partner, OrthoPro ensures that every distal clavicle plate meets rigorous international quality standards.

Advanced Biomechanical Features

The OrthoPro Distal Clavicular Locking Plate incorporates advanced locking technology to address the specific needs of distal fragment fixation:

• Distal Screw Cluster: The flared distal end of the plate features a cluster of small locking holes (typically accepting 2.7mm screws). These screws are often angled in a divergent pattern to maximize purchase in the flat, osteopenic bone of the lateral clavicle, providing exceptional resistance against pull-out forces.
• Shaft Stability: The shaft of the plate is designed with combi-holes or standard locking holes (typically accepting 3.5mm screws). This allows surgeons to choose between locking screws for angular stability or cortex screws for dynamic compression, depending on the fracture pattern and bone quality.
• Anatomical Contour: Pre-contoured to match the superior surface of the clavicle, the plate respects the natural bow of the bone. This design helps in achieving accurate reduction and restoring the length and alignment of the shoulder girdle.
• Tapered Ends: The proximal end of the plate is tapered to facilitate minimally invasive insertion techniques (MIPO) and to reduce stress risers at the plate-bone interface, lowering the risk of refractory fractures.
• Reconstruction Plates Support: The system is robust enough to support comminuted fractures where bridging fixation is required.

Clinical Indications

The Distal Clavicular Locking Plate is indicated for a variety of lateral clavicle pathologies, making it a versatile tool in any orthopedic trauma inventory:

• Lateral Clavicle Fractures: Specifically Neer Type II fractures where the coracoclavicular ligaments are detached from the medial fragment.
• Malunions and Non-unions: Correction of failed conservative treatments or previous surgical failures.
• Osteotomies: Planned surgical cuts for deformity correction.
• Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Dislocations: In certain cases, used in conjunction with ligament reconstruction techniques.

Material and Quality Assurance

OrthoPro places patient safety and product durability at the forefront. Our implants are manufactured from medical-grade materials:

• Material: Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Pure Titanium, offering high fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility.
• Surface Finish: Anodized or matte finished to enhance osseointegration and reduce tissue adhesion.
• Quality Control: Each batch undergoes strict dimensional and mechanical testing to ensure reliability in the operating room.
