Background: Operative management of clavicle fractures indicated for open reduction internal fixation poses significant risk to critical anatomic structures. The associated risks to the underlying neurovascular structures during clavicle fixation as a result of plunge depth for patients in the supine position in comparison to patients in the beach-chair position is currently unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare plunge depth measurements between the supine and beach-chair positions during plate fixation of clavicle fractures. Methods: The participant population at this single institution was comprised of residents, fellows, and fellowship-trained, attending orthopaedic surgeons. The participants drilled three bicortical holes …
