BackgroundThe articles that have reported on the size at which a segmental defect of clavicular non-union requires bone grafting are scarce. This study evaluated the functional and radiologic results of fixation by locking compression plate (LCP) without bone graft when the defect size is less than 2cm following bone sclerosis removal for the treatment of clavicular non-union.MethodsThe study included 17 patients with mid-shaft clavicular non-union. All patients underwent bone sclerosis resection and fixation using LCP without bone graft. The patients were evaluated preoperatively, and after a minimum of 24months (mean, 44.47months; range, 24 to 60months) postoperatively in terms of the disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score, the Constant-Murley score, and radiography.ResultsIn this study, no patients were lost to follow-up. The mean DASH score improved from 38.767.76 (31.00-46.52) points preoperatively to 19.88 +/- 7.18 (12.70-27.06) points 2years postoperatively (P
