•We implemented minimally invasive technique combined with reconstruction plate.•Showing satisfaction with appearance of incision and no cases had suffered infections.•May be a good choice for patients with clavicle midpiece fractures.
PurposeWe aimed to assess the possibility and feasibilities in the treatment of clavicle midpiece fracture by minimally invasive with percutaneous locking reconstitution plate.MethodsTotal 29 cases of patients with clavicle midpiece fractures were reviewed including 13 males and 16 females. All the patients were treated by minimally invasive with locking reconstitution plates.ResultsAll the patients showed satisfaction of the appearance of incision and union of all the fractures. One case suffered fixation device failure and 3 cases suffered skin irritation responses.ConclusionThe minimally invasive with locking reconstruction plate is a good option for clavicle midpiece fractures treatment with good fracture healing.
