  • Publication number: 20230071963
    Abstract: A bone plate for treating acromioclavicular dislocations includes a shaft including a lateral portion sized and shaped to be positioned along a superior aspect of a lateral clavicle, the shaft including a plurality of openings extending therethrough for receiving bone fixation elements therein and a hook member extending from the shaft so that, in an operative position, the hook member is hooked under an acromion and the lateral portion of the shaft is positioned on the superior aspect of the lateral clavicle, the lateral portion of the shaft being substantially rounded so that the hook member is movable in one of an anterior direction and a posterior direction while the shaft maintains contact with the superior aspect of the lateral clavicle without any portion of the lateral portion of the shaft protruding beyond a surface of the lateral clavicle.

  • Publication number: 20220071673
    Abstract: A medial plate for treating fractures along a clavicle, comprising a plate body including a longitudinal component extending from a first end to a second end and an extension extending from the second end, the second end configured to be mounted over a medial head, a first set of variable angle holes extending through a portion of the longitudinal component including the second end of the longitudinal component and the extension, each of the first set of variable angle holes extending through the plate body along a central axis so that a bone screw is insertable therethrough at a user-selected angle relative to the central axis, and a plurality of combination holes extending through the longitudinal component, each of the plurality of combination holes includes a first portion configured to receive a bone screw at a user-selected angle and a second portion configured to receive a compression screw.
