Titanium Clavicle Hook Locking Plate – Acromioclavicular Joint Fixation System for Shoulder Trauma

Advanced Solution for Shoulder Instability: Clavicle Hook Locking Plate

At OrthoPro, we understand the complexities involved in treating shoulder trauma, specifically injuries affecting the lateral clavicle and the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. Our Clavicle Hook Locking Plate is a premier solution designed to restore anatomy and stability. Manufactured to the highest international standards, this system is the preferred choice for orthopedic surgeons and trauma centers looking for reliable, rigid fixation methods that promote rapid patient recovery.

Anatomical Design and Biomechanical Stability

The Clavicle Hook Locking Plate features a unique design that addresses the challenges of distal clavicle fractures where screw purchase is often difficult due to small bone fragments. The plate incorporates a posterior hook that slides under the acromion, maintaining the reduction of the AC joint without the need for trans-articular screws that can damage the cartilage.

Key design advantages include:

• Pre-Contoured Anatomy: The plate is anatomically shaped to fit the S-curve of the clavicle, reducing the need for intra-operative bending and minimizing hardware prominence, which is crucial in the thin soft-tissue envelope of the shoulder.
• Polished Surface Finish: The high-quality surface treatment reduces soft tissue irritation and the risk of subacromial impingement, improving patient comfort post-surgery.
• Optimized Hook Depth: The hook is designed with precise depth and angle to engage the acromion securely, resisting superior migration of the clavicle while allowing for normal shoulder mechanics.

Locking Technology for Superior Fixation

Our Clavicle Hook Locking Plate utilizes advanced locking screw technology. The threaded screw holes allow the screw head to lock into the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct. This is particularly beneficial in:

• Osteoporotic Bone: The locking mechanism prevents screw toggling and pull-out, which is common in elderly patients with poor bone quality.
• Comminuted Fractures: It bridges the fracture zone, preserving the blood supply to the bone fragments and promoting secondary bone healing.

Clinical Indications

The OrthoPro Clavicle Hook Locking Plate is indicated for a specific range of shoulder injuries, making it a versatile addition to any hospital’s trauma inventory:

• Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Dislocations: Specifically Rockwood Type III, IV, and V dislocations requiring surgical reduction.
• Lateral Clavicle Fractures: Neer Type II fractures where the coracoclavicular ligaments are ruptured, causing instability.
• Non-unions and Mal-unions: Treatment of failed conservative management or failed previous surgeries of the distal clavicle.

Technical Specifications and Parameters

Our system is designed for compatibility and ease of use in the operating theater. The parameters below adhere to global industry standards:

• Material: Medical Grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Pure Titanium, offering superior biocompatibility, strength, and MRI compatibility compared to stainless steel.
• Plate Holes: Available in various lengths, typically ranging from 4 holes to 8 holes, to accommodate different fracture patterns.
• Screw Compatibility:
  • Shaft holes accept 3.5mm Locking Screws or 3.5mm Cortical Screws.
  • The combination holes allow for compression or locking depending on the surgeon’s preference.
• Hook Depths: Available in multiple hook depths (e.g., 15mm, 18mm) to accommodate varying patient anatomies and acromial shapes.
• Orientation: Specific Left and Right plates to ensure perfect anatomical fit.

Surgical Technique Benefits

Surgeons utilizing the Clavicle Hook Locking Plate benefit from a streamlined surgical technique. The hook facilitates reduction by leveraging against the acromion, often simplifying the reduction of high-riding clavicle fractures. Furthermore, the low-profile design allows for easier wound closure and better cosmetic outcomes for the patient.
