Precise reduction of mid‑shaft clavicle fractures with shortening and overlap remains a significant technical challenge. This training presents a minimally invasive approach using an anatomic plate, demonstrated in high definition from a surgical perspective, enabling mastery of the technique from radiographic planning to definitive fixation.

Training Focus:

• Radiographic planning (Zanca and superior view) and anatomical marking;
• Strategic creation of the lateral and medial portals;
• Controlled dissection and creation of the tunnel for plate passage;
• Closed reduction guided by fluoroscopy;
• Selection and adaptation of the anatomic plate;
• Sequential fixation with cortical and locking screws;
• Closure of the muscle layers and intradermal suturing.

Detailed Content:

• Precise Radiographic Planning: Protocols to identify the fracture site, outline the lateral third, and define the ideal implant size;
• Strategic Marking of the Access Points: Methods for exact positioning of the portals, ensuring proper plate trajectory;
• Safe Creation of the Subperiosteal Tunnel: Dissection techniques using an elevator and digital palpation to preserve tissues and facilitate implant passage;
• Reliable Closed Reduction: Strategies for external manipulation and fluoroscopic confirmation of alignment;
• Optimal Adaptation of the Anatomic Plate: Comparative testing of curvatures and adjustments for improved bone contact;
• Stable and Progressive Fixation: Sequence of cortical and locking screws to prevent rotation and loss of reduction;
• Intraoperative Stability Control: Methods of palpation and verification of the final plate position;
• Functional and Aesthetic Closure: Adequate muscular coverage and intradermal suturing for improved cosmetic outcome.

Included Material:

• Detailed PDF with planning, marking, portal creation, dissection technique, implant selection, fixation sequence, and surgical closure.
