A Clavicle Locking Compression Plate (LCP) is a specialized orthopedic implant used for the surgical fixation of clavicle fractures. Here are some key features:
Anatomical Design: The plate is contoured to match the shape of the clavicle, which ensures better fitting and alignment, minimizing the need for intraoperative plate bending.
Locking Screw Technology: The locking screws used with these plates thread into the plate itself, creating a fixed-angle construct. This provides enhanced stability, particularly in osteoporotic bone or in multi-fragmentary fractures.
Multiple Screw Options: The plates often allow for the use of different screw types (locking and non-locking) in the same plate. This versatility can be beneficial for addressing various fracture patterns.
Enhanced Stability: The locking mechanism between the screw and the plate enhances angular stability and helps maintain the desired anatomical alignment, even under load.
Variable Angulation: Some designs offer polyaxial locking screws, which allow for screw placement at variable angles, providing more flexibility in addressing complex fractures.
Low Profile: The plates are typically low profile to reduce the risk of soft tissue irritation and to improve patient comfort post-surgery.
Multiple Lengths and Sizes: They are available in various lengths and sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies and fracture types.
Material: Typically made from stainless steel or titanium, offering a balance of strength and biocompatibility.
Combi-Hole Technology: Many clavicle LCPs feature combi-holes, which allow for the insertion of both locking and conventional screws in the same hole, offering surgeons flexibility in their approach.
Pre-contoured Options: Pre-contoured plates reduce the time needed for intraoperative contouring and improve fit, potentially leading to better clinical outcomes.
Medial and Lateral Plates: Some systems offer specific plates for medial and lateral clavicle fractures to address the unique anatomical challenges of these areas.
These features collectively contribute to the plate's ability to provide stable fixation, promote healing, and minimize complications.
Clavicle Locking Compression Plates (LCP) are used in the surgical treatment of various clavicle fractures and conditions. Here are the main indications for using a clavicle LCP:
Displaced Midshaft Clavicle Fractures: When the fracture is significantly displaced or shortened, surgical fixation with a locking compression plate can help restore alignment and length.
Comminuted Clavicle Fractures: In cases where the clavicle is shattered into multiple fragments, a locking plate provides stable fixation to facilitate healing.
Nonunion or Malunion of Clavicle Fractures: For fractures that have failed to heal properly (nonunion) or have healed in a misaligned position (malunion), LCPs can be used to re-stabilize and promote proper healing.
Fractures in Osteoporotic Bone: Locking plates are particularly useful in osteoporotic bone, where conventional screws may not achieve adequate purchase.
Complex Clavicle Fractures: Fractures involving multiple parts of the clavicle, including those that extend into the shoulder joint or involve significant angulation or displacement, may benefit from the stability provided by an LCP.
Fractures with High Risk of Complications: Patients with fractures at high risk of complications, such as those with associated neurovascular injury or significant soft tissue damage, may require the enhanced stability of a locking plate.
Revision Surgery: In cases where previous surgical fixation has failed, an LCP can be used for revision surgery to provide more robust fixation.
Lateral and Medial Clavicle Fractures: Specific LCPs are designed for fractures occurring at the lateral (distal) or medial (proximal) ends of the clavicle, where the bone geometry and load distribution differ from midshaft fractures.
Athletes and Active Individuals: For patients who require a quicker return to activity, such as athletes, the stability provided by an LCP can support early mobilization and rehabilitation.
The use of a clavicle LCP is determined by the surgeon based on the specific characteristics of the fracture, the patient's overall health, and the desired outcomes.

A Clavicle LCP is an orthopedic implant designed to stabilize and fixate fractures of the clavicle (collarbone). It uses a combination of locking and non-locking screws to secure the plate to the bone, providing enhanced stability and support for the healing process.
Locking plates use screws that lock into the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct. This provides greater stability, especially in osteoporotic bone or complex fractures, compared to traditional plates where screws only engage the bone.
Displaced midshaft fractures
Comminuted fractures (multiple fragments)
Nonunion or malunion fractures
Fractures in osteoporotic bone
Complex fractures involving significant angulation or displacement
Enhanced stability and fixation
Better alignment and anatomical fit
Reduced need for intraoperative contouring
Increased success in osteoporotic or multi-fragmentary fractures
Reduced risk of implant-related complications
Yes, clavicle LCPs come in various shapes, sizes, and lengths to accommodate different fracture types and patient anatomies. There are specific plates for medial, lateral, and midshaft fractures, as well as pre-contoured and variable angle options.
Clavicle LCPs are typically made from stainless steel or titanium, both of which offer a balance of strength, durability, and biocompatibility.
Recovery time can vary based on the fracture's severity, the patient's overall health, and adherence to postoperative care. Generally, it can take several weeks to months for complete healing, with physical therapy often recommended to restore strength and mobility.
Infection
Implant irritation or prominence
Nonunion or delayed union of the fracture
Neurovascular injury
Need for revision surgery
In some cases, the plate may be removed after the bone has fully healed, especially if it causes discomfort or restricts movement. This decision is typically made by the surgeon based on the patient's recovery and symptoms.
Candidates for clavicle LCP surgery include patients with displaced, comminuted, or complex fractures, those with nonunion or malunion fractures, and individuals with fractures in osteoporotic bone. The decision is made by an orthopedic surgeon based on the specific fracture characteristics and patient factors.
