In a series of 13 patients, our technique facilitated fracture reduction while avoiding additional soft-tissue dissection at the fracture site and enabled supplementary stabilization after application of a lateral locking plate. Using this technique, we had minimal complications, a high rate of osseous healing, and achieved favorable clinical outcomes in a challenging patient population.
