With this new pre-contoured locking plate, good to excellent intraoperative fit to the anatomical shape of the clavicle can be achieved. The implant seems to be reliable regarding handling and complications. Clinical and radiological results are comparable to results reported in the literature. Hardware removal rate is comparable to other studies with a pre-contoured plate and lower compared to non-pre-contoured.
