Safety and efficacy of using 2.4/2.4 mm and 2.0/2.4 mm dual mini-fragment plate combinations for fixation of displaced diaphyseal clavicle fractures.

•Reoperation for symptomatic implant removal following open reduction and internal fixation of diaphyseal clavicle fractures is common.•Dual plating, using 2.4/2.4 mm and 2.0/2.4 mm mini-fragment plate combinations, creates a stable construct that reliably maintains fracture reduction to healing.•These lower profile constructs appear to have a low rate of reoperation for symptomatic implant removal.
