Extremely distal clavicle fractures can present a challenge to many surgeons. Globus offers various implant options in the ANTHEM™ portfolio that can be utilized for this fracture type. Dr. Asif Ilyas of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, recently treated a patient with our ANTHEM™ Clavicle Fracture System. The patient was experiencing pain and deformity at the acromioclavicular (AC) joint due to a displaced distal clavicle fracture with shortening and bayoneting. Dr. Ilyas exposed the fracture through a superior approach, identifying the AC joint first and then reducing the fracture. Due to the clavicle fracture's very distal nature, two options were considered—either the ANTHEM™ Clavicle Fracture System’s Superior Lateral Plate or the system’s Hook Plate. Dr. Ilyas opted to use our Hook Plate to target the distal nature of the fracture without having to rely on distal fixation. Dr. Ilyas was very pleased with the ANTHEM™ system, commenting that the Hook Plate “offered excellent fixation by the counter-force provided by the acromion and screw fixation proximally.” We thank Dr. Ilyas for sharing this case and presenting a treatment option for an extremely distal clavicle fracture.
