T Plate Fixation for Unstable Fracture of Distal Clavicle: Ho Jung Kang, Kwan Kyu Park, Hong Kee Yoon, Hyung Keun Song, Soo Bong Hahn; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(3):329-334. Published online July 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.3.329

PURPOSE
To review clinical and radiological results after open reduction and internal fixation with T plate for unstable distal clavicle fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From July. 1999 to December 2002, nine patients with distal clavicle Neer type II fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with T plate. The bony union was confirmed by plain radiography. The clinical results were analyzed according to the classification by Kona et al.
RESULTS
Average time to fracture union was 8 weeks in all cases. The functional results were as follows: excellent in 7 cases and good in 2 cases. Screw loosening occurred in one case, but bony union was achieved.
CONCLUSION
We recommend T plate fixation as another treatment method for unstable distal clavicle fractures.

PURPOSE
To review the result of fractures of distal radius treated with the T-plate fixation and to recommend guideline for treatment of fracture of distal radius.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between January 1999 and December 2002, among the patients with fractures of distal radius underwent T-plate fixation, we retrospectively reviewed 52 cases that had a minimum follow-up of 12 months. According to the Fernandez classification of distal radius fractures, 18 cases were type I, 4 cases were type II, 22 cases were type III, 2 cases were type IV and 6 cases were type V. To assess the clinical result, we used the Demerit Point System and for the radiologic result, we used the Point system by Scheck. We Compare the result of treatment in fractures of distal radius by T-plate fixation and K-wire fixation in Type I and III.
RESULTS
Excellent to good results were obtained in 38 cases (73%) in clinical result and 39 cases (75%) in radiological results. Radiologic evidence of arthritis was presented 6 cases at follow-up examination. There was no evidence of statistical difference between Type I using T-plate and K-wire fixation (p>0.05). However in type III, result in the group of T-plate fixation were better than in pinning group (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
We obtained good result for type III with T-plate but only T-plate fiaxtion for type V was not satisfactory
