    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: The purpose of the current study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of
distal radius volar T plate and pre-contoured locking plate in distal clavicle fracture.
Methods: A total of 60 patients with Neer 2b distal clavicle fracture were included in this study and
undergone open reduction and internal fixation between March 2019 and November 2020 via two different
plates; distal radius volar T plate and distal clavicle pre-contoured locking plate. All patients were followed
at least two years post-operative. Union rate, time to union, need to device removal, and Constant-Murley
score were assessed among them.
Results: In all patients, the bony union was achieved without wound-related complications. The mean time
to union in distal radius volar T plate group was 3.30.6 and 3.60.7 in the pre-contoured locking plate (p
=0.14). The mean Constant-Murley score was 93.12.2 and 92.1 2.5 in T plate group and pre-contoured
plate group, respectively (p =0.09). Five cases with T plate and eight cases with pre-contoured plated were
candidates for device removal (p =0.53).
Conclusion: Distal radius volar T plate could be a reasonable choice to manage Neer 2b distal clavicle
fracture as it restores functional range of motion with excellent bone union and without the necessity of
device removal, besides its economical price</abstract>
