Clavicle Hook Locking Plate: Configuration and Selection Guide

Clavicle Hook Locking Plate: Configuration and Selection Guide

A clavicle hook locking plate is an orthopedic fixation implant for selected clavicle fracture procedures. Its configuration combines a contoured plate body with a hook extension, allowing the implant to be positioned according to the fracture pattern and the surgeon’s fixation plan. Choosing the correct version requires more than checking the plate length. Laterality, hole count, screw compatibility, dimensions, material and the available instrument set all need to be reviewed together.

What Is a Clavicle Hook Locking Plate?

A clavicle hook plate is designed to support internal fixation around the clavicle and shoulder region. The hook portion and plate body create a specific implant geometry, so the left or right version must correspond to the operative side. The plate is secured with compatible screws selected according to the available holes, bone condition and the planned fixation technique.

The Well Trust clavicle hook locking plate is identified for orthopedic trauma applications. The product configuration includes left and right options, five hole-count choices and three compatible screw categories. This gives hospitals and distributors a structured range for matching implant selection to different surgical requirements.

Available Clavicle Hook Plate Configurations

Configuration Plate dimensions Side
2 holes 3 mm thickness × 11.5 mm width × 89 mm length Left / Right
3 holes 3 mm thickness × 11.5 mm width × 103 mm length Left / Right
4 holes 3 mm thickness × 11.5 mm width × 119 mm length Left / Right
5 holes 3 mm thickness × 11.5 mm width × 134 mm length Left / Right
6 holes 3 mm thickness × 11.5 mm width × 149 mm length Left / Right

The configuration range covers 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-hole plates in both left and right versions. The plate thickness and width remain consistent across the range, while the overall length changes with the number of holes. This makes hole count an important ordering detail rather than a minor packaging preference.

Material and Compatible Screws

The clavicle hook locking plate is made from medical-grade titanium and carries CE/ISO certification information. Material selection should always be reviewed together with the implant’s technical documentation, screw system and applicable regulatory requirements for the destination market.

The compatible screw options are:

  • 3.5 mm locking screw;
  • 3.5 mm cortical screw;
  • 4.0 mm cancellous screw.

These screw categories serve different fixation requirements. The selected combination should match the plate system, the available instrumentation and the surgeon’s established technique. Screws should not be substituted solely because the diameter appears similar; thread design, head geometry and driver compatibility also need to be confirmed.

How to Select the Correct Version

1. Confirm the operative side

Start by confirming whether a left or right plate is required. A side-specific implant reduces ordering ambiguity and helps the surgical team prepare the correct configuration before the procedure.

2. Match the hole count and length

Choose the number of holes and overall length according to the planned fixation construct. The available lengths range from 89 mm for the 2-hole configuration to 149 mm for the 6-hole configuration. The appropriate choice depends on the fracture pattern, available bone and the number of fixation points required by the surgical plan.

3. Confirm the screw set

Before ordering, confirm the required locking, cortical and cancellous screws. The plate, screws, drill guides, drivers and other instruments should be treated as one compatible system.

4. Review instruments and documentation

A complete preparation process includes the appropriate plate holder, drill guide, screwdriver, measuring instruments and sterilization workflow. Product documentation should be checked for cleaning, sterilization, handling and implant identification requirements.

Clavicle Hook Plate Procurement Checklist

  • Left or right configuration confirmed;
  • 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-hole option selected;
  • Plate dimensions and length verified;
