Poorly fitted plates can cause discomfort, eventually requiring implant removal. 3D-printed replicas of the fractured clavicle can assist in planning of the surgical approach, plate selection and, if necessary, adjustment of the plate prior to surgery.

The control group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20097) received conventional surgery with standard precontoured plates. For the intervention group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20097), 3D-printed replicas of the fractured clavicle and a mirrored version of the healthy contralateral clavicle were available prior to surgery for planning of the surgical approach, and for plate selection and contouring.
