Abstract

A lot of controversies have been found regarding the optimal treatment strategy for "distal clavicle structures". In the context of surgical strategy, a combination of titanium cables along the locking plate of the distal clavicle has been used. The main aim of this study is to find out the clinical outcomes of the newer type of strategy for treating "Neer type II distal clavicle fractures". 21 participants comprising patients and doctors have been chosen for the analysis of distal clavicle fracture of Neer type II. Through reviewing and collecting follow-up data the clinical outcomes will be assessed at different rates.  The use of a distal clavicle locking plate along with the combination of titanium cable of Neer, type features has been found to better function of the shoulder. This type of joint surgical strategy has been found as an effective process of treating unstable clavicle fractures.
