COA 2021: Comparing Dual Plate vs Single Plate Fixation of Displaced Mid-Shaft Clavicle Fractures .
Outcomes and Complications After Dual Plate vs. Single Plate Fixation of Displaced Mid-Shaft Clavicle Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
COA_2021_1Seven studies including 255 patients with mid-shaft clavicle fractures were included in this meta-analysis comparing single-plate fixation to dual-plate fixation. Pooled outcomes of interest included the implant removal rate and the rate of fracture non-union. Results revealed a significantly lower pooled implant removal rate in the dual-plate group compared to the single-plate group (OR=3.91, p=0.003). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the pooled fracture non-union rate (OR=1.66, p=0.52).
