Dr. Steven Chudik’s Research Published in Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine

Posted in: Dr. Chudik | Posted on: 13-Sep-2017

Purpose:

To compare the biomechanical and clinical performance of 3- versus 2-screw constructs for plating displaced midshaft clavicle fractures.

Background:

The standard of care for plating displaced midshaft clavicle fractures has been 6 cortices of purchase on each side of the fracture. The use of locking plates and screws may afford equivalent biomechanical strength with fewer cortices of purchase on each side of the fracture.
