鎖骨遠位端骨折及び肩鎖関節脱臼に対する Wolter plate による治療経験

抄録

Nine cases with displaced fractures of the distal end of the clavicle (Neer type II) and six cases with acromioclavicular separation (Tossy grade III) were treated using the Wolter plate.
All cases had good reduction and bone union. In addition, all cases except one had an almost full range of motion at the shoulder joint.
The Wolter plate provided stable fixation which allowed an early range of motion of the shoulder joint without impairing the acromiocravicular joint.
