    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Traumatology

    Context:

    • Fractures near joints often involve multiple bone fragments, posing fixation challenges.
    • Existing surgical techniques may require extensive soft tissue dissection for joint-near fracture treatment.
    • Osteotomies and complex fracture patterns necessitate robust and adaptable fixation devices.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and application of claw plates in treating joint-near fractures.
    • To describe the design principles and surgical advantages of claw plate fixation.
    • To assess the suitability of claw plates for various fracture types and bone sizes.

    Summary:

    • Claw plates, designed with integrated claws and screw fixation, provide strong stabilization for multiple fragment fractures and osteotomies, particularly in joint-near regions.
    • Their adaptable shape and variable sizes allow for precise contouring to bone anatomy, accommodating different bone dimensions.
    • Insertion requires no specialized instruments, and the technique allows for minimal surgical exposure around the joint.

    Impact:

    • Claw plates offer a successful alternative or adjunct to existing methods for treating complex fractures in long bones, excluding the femur.
    • The technique facilitates strong fixation even in small bone fragments close to the joint.
    • Ten years of experience indicate good clinical outcomes, supporting their use in orthopedic trauma surgery.
