All but 2 patients (96.7%) achieved bony union after the index procedure. 89% (n = 54) of patients completed outcome surveys with at least 6-month follow-up. Six patients (9.8%) underwent removal of plate implant at a mean of 15.1 months postoperatively. The mean KOS-ADL score was 91.4, the mean Tegner\u2013Lysholm score was 78.1, and the mean NRS was 2.7.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dorsal hook plating offers secure fixation to allow early range of motion, reliable fixation with low nonunion and implant failure rates, low implant removal rates, and satisfactory patient-reported outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Therapeutic Level IV.
