Are clinical outcomes affected by type of plate used for management of mid-shaft clavicle fractures?

We found that clavicle fractures fixed with 3.5 mm reconstruction plates were more likely to have hardware failure due to plastic deformation, whereas 2.7 mm constructs where more likely to fail by plate breakage, but these did not reach statistical significance ( p value = 0.173 and 0.368; respectively) (Table 7 ).
