Clavicular plate internal fixation is a surgical treatment for clavicular fracture. A clavicle fracture is a break in the backbone or end of the clavicle. Collarbone fractures are usually caused by direct or indirect violence against the collarbone, such as supporting the ground while falling, car accidents, etc.
The purpose of internal clavicular plate fixation is to surgically re-align and fix the bone mass at the clavicular fracture site to promote fracture healing. During the procedure, the surgeon will use metal plates and screws to hold the broken clavicle pieces together to keep them in the correct position. After surgery, the patient will need rehabilitation training and physical therapy to restore collarbone function and shoulder motion.
The advantages of internal clavicular plate fixation include: firm fixation, can reduce the displacement and dislocation of the fracture site, and promote fracture healing; Postoperative patients can carry out early activities and exercise, which is helpful to restore shoulder joint function; The surgical trauma is less and the postoperative recovery is faster.
