Abstract

We reviewed seven patients who underwent operative treatment for clavicular fractures using Mennen plates. Six of seven fractures were accompanied with three or more fragments and one of these was a case of non-union after plate fixation.
It is suggested that this plating system is especially useful for these kinds of fractures.
