A Rare Complication of Hook Plate Fixation for Lateral Clavicle Fractures: Salvage Management with K-Wire Fixation.

Introduction: Hook plate fixation is a widely used technique for managing lateral clavicle fractures, particularly when the coracoclavicular ligaments are disrupted. However, improper placement of the hook plate can result in rare and challenging complications that require innovative management strategies. This report presents a unique case involving such a complication and describes a minimally invasive, single-stage salvage approach using K-wire fixation to effectively address the issue.
