ABSTRACT
Between 1974 and 1999, we treated operatively 28 patients with a symptomatic mid-shaft clavicular non-union using AO osteosynthesis, including bone grafting. Nine patients had a wave-plate osteosynthesis and 19 a standard AO/ASIF osteosynthesis. The mean follow-up was 10 (2-25) years. All but one non-union showed full bony consolidation. Pre-operatively, brachialgia was present in 12 patients. Of these patients, six were treated using standard osteosynthesis technique and six by wave-plate osteosynthesis. Post-operatively, patients treated by wave-plate osteosynthesis had no brachialgia and also had a higher Constant score than those patients treated using standard AO/ASIF techniques.
