Observational case series on the clinical performance of the Variable Angle Clavicle Plate and Clavicle Hook Plate 2.7 systems: a study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reoperation rates in clavicular fractures and acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations are high, often indicated for plate removal due to plate prominence and poor cosmesis. The recently designed 2.7 mm variable angle locking compression plate (VA-LCP®) Clavicle Plate and 2.7 mm VA-LCP® Clavicle Hook Plate (J&J MedTech) are intended to have an improved plate-to-bone fit, are precontoured, and have a low profile. Additionally, the Clavicle Hook Plate has a more anatomically adapted hook design to reduce the risk of painful osteolysis leading to earlier plate removals. All screw holes in these plates accept 2.7 mm screws. Primary objectives of this observational, post-marketing, prospective, multicenter case series are to gather early and mid- to long-term evidence on the
