<p>A substantially rigid plate (220) is secured to a medial portion of a clavicle (102) relative to a fracture (104) in the clavicle. The plate is positioned so that it extends at least partially over a distal portion of the clavicle relative to the fracture. The plate has surfaces that define a first opening (222) through which a suture (436) can pass. A hole is formed in the clavicle. A washer (228) may be positioned at a side of the plate opposite the clavicle. Alternatively, the plate may include suture holes (980) or edge features (1090) for securing a suture. A suture is secured to the washer, to at least one suture hole or to at least one edge feature, and extends through the first opening, through the hole in the clavicle and is secured to the coracoid process.</p> |
