Abstract
Bilateral clavicle fractures are rare injuries. Their management is a subject of controversery. Some authors advocate surgical intervention, while others recommend orthopedic treatment. Several surgical implants are used, including anatomical screws, reconstruction plates, Kirschner wires and external fixators. We would like to share our experience with osteosynthesis using one-third tubular plate in bilateral clavicle fractures. This about two patients. At the six-month follow-up, excellent anatomical and functional outcomes were achieved.
Keywords: Bilateral clavicle, Targeted plates, Surgical management.
