Comparing Dual Mini-fragment Plating to Single Precontoured Plating of Acute Midshaft Clavicle Fractures Trial

Patients randomized to dual mini-fragment plating will undergo clavicle fixation using any configuration of 2.0-mm, 2.4-mm and 2.7-mm limited contact dynamic compression (LC-DCP), locking compression (LCP) or reconstruction plates (i.e., 2.4-mm superior and 2.7-mm anteroinferior). One of the two plates used must be a LC-DCP or LCP plate. Surgeons will contour the mini-fragment plate intraoperatively to fit each patient's anatomy.

Patients randomized to a single plate construct will undergo fixation using an anatomically precontoured (superior or anterior-inferior) clavicle plate.
