Comparison of the use of biocompatible materials and titanium in the treatment of midshaft clavicle fractures with a patient-specific plate: a finite element analysis study.

Our findings indicate that titanium material shows significantly higher stresses on plates and screws compared to those on the clavicle, suggesting a risk of implant failure. PLA and PLA/HA were inadequate for fixation. Although stress on the plate with PEEK material is higher than on the clavicle, it remains lower than titanium, indicating potential stability at fracture site. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.
