This observational study reports improved shoulder function and lower complications with LARS stabilization in unstable distal clavicle fractures, compared to traditional methods.
Key Points
Patients treated with LARS exhibited better shoulder function and lower complication rates than hook plate fixation.
All 30 patients in the study showed radiographic union after treatment with modified CC stabilization using LARS.
Average follow-up duration was 31.2 months, revealing significant improvements in Constant-Murley scores.
Modified CC stabilization using LARS is an efficient technique that restores stability in unstable distal clavicle fractures.
