Product

The Clavicle Plate and Screw System is a comprehensive set of plates, screws, and instruments designed to treat midshaft and distal clavicle fractures. The stainless steel plates are low profile and precontoured with locking and nonlocking screw options in each plate. Secondary fixation to the coracoid is achieved through the plate using AC TightRope® implant technology, particularly the AC Dog Bone™ button.
The Knotless Distal Clavicle Plate Button TightRope implant is designed to be used in conjunction with any Arthrex distal clavicle plate and gives the surgeon knotless coracoid ﬁxation to help stabilize distal clavicle fractures.

The Arthrex® clavicle plates are used for fixation of the midshaft and in distal clavicle fractures. Stability of distal fractures can be enhanced by integrating coracoid fixation into the plate using a knotless clavicle plate button and a Dog Bone™ Button.

Distal Clavicle Fracture Repair Using Coracoid Fixation

Charles J. Jordan, MD (Miami, FL), demonstrates a distal clavicle fracture repair using a distal clavicle plate and distal clavicle Knotless TightRope® implant. The distal clavicle Knotless TightRope implant is passed through the clavicle and coracoid with a “push-through” technique for coracoclavicular fixation. The holes in all distal clavicle plates are designed to accommodate the distal clavicle Knotless TightRope implant.

Distal Clavicle Open Reduction Internal Fixation With a Distal Clavicle Plate and a Distal Clavicle Knotless TightRope® Implant

Gregory S. DiFelice, MD, (New York, NY) demonstrates his technique for distal clavicle fracture repair utilizing a clavicle plate and knotless clavicle plate button. He applies trauma principles by using fluoroscopy to drill the clavicle and coracoid tunnels and to pass the knotless clavicle plate button, eliminating the need to access the underside of the coracoid.

Distal Clavicle Fracture Repair

Gautam Yagnik, MD, (Miami, FL) demonstrates his technique to treat distal clavicle fractures utilizing a Dog Bone™ Button with FiberTape® suture and augmented with an allograft wrap. Dr. Yagnik explains how this technique can be effective for distal clavicle fractures that are not amenable to plate fixation due to fracture location, severe comminution or ligamentous disruption.

Peter Millett, MD, MS, (Vail, CO) demonstrates arthroscopically assisted coracoid fixation to treat lateral clavicle fractures utilizing a clavicle plate and a knotless clavicle plate button. The plate button is preassembled with a knotless TightRope®‐like suture and is designed to be used with a Dog Bone™ Button and an Arthrex® distal clavicle plate. Dr. Millett shows how the combination of a plate and knotless coracoid fixation can give the surgeon a strong, knotless, low profile repair option to treat difficult lateral clavicle fractures.
