Additional coracoclavicular augmentation reduces revision rates in the treatment of lateral clavicle fractures as compared to angle-stable plate osteosynthesis alone.

Additive CC augmentation in combination with locking plate osteosynthesis seems to improve the vertical stability and reduces the revision rate in patients with a lateral clavicle fracture. Furthermore, an arthroscopy-assisted procedure allows for an intraoperative detection and single-step treatment of accompanying intraarticular pathologies.
