After a clavicle fracture, there are two types of plates used in surgery. One type of plate is made of steel, that is, made of stainless steel, which is a real steel plate. The other type of plate is not actually called a steel plate, but a titanium plate, because it is made of titanium. There are two main types of plates, one is the anatomical plate of the clavicle, which changes in an S-shape. The other type of plate used for clavicle fractures is called clavicle hook plate, which is mainly used for distal clavicle fractures. It is constructed in an L-shape from the side and has a hook-shaped tail, which is placed below the acromion.
