Surgical Treatment of Distal Clavicular Fractures using Scorpion Plate.

Six cases with displaced fracture of the distal end of the clavicle (Neer Type II) were treated using the Scorpion plate. All cases had bone union. In addition, all cases except one for the most part achieved full range of motion at the shoulder joint in early post operation. The Scorpion plate provides stable fixation which allows an early range of motion of the shoulder joint without impairing the acromioclavicular joint.
