Plating and cortical bone grafting of clavicular nonunions: clinical outcome and its relation to clavicular length restoration

Plating and cortical bone grafting of clavicular nonunions: clinical outcome and its relation to clavicular length restoration

Background: The goal of this study was to evaluate whether plating and cortical bone grafting of shortened clavicular nonunions would restore clavicular length and enable bone healing. The association between the clavicular length difference (CLD) between sides and long-term functional outcome was a...
