Summary:There are several methods for treatment of acromioclavicular luxation and distal clavicular fracture. We report our experience using the Wolter Clavicular Plates for these injuries. Subjects included six patients; 4 luxations and 2 fractures. After using this plate, all of these patients reported good results with no complaint such as pain and limitation of ROM. We concluded that wolter clavicular plates are useful for treatment of acromioclavicular luxation and distal clavicular fracture.
