About the Rockwood Clavicle Pin

DePuy’s intramedullary Rockwood Clavicle Pin is intended to be used to repair an acute fracture, malunion or non-union of the clavicle. Use of an intramedullary pin helps avoid issues such as:

  •Impaired blood supply related to soft tissue stripping

  •Presence of painful, prominent hardware

  •Stress risers in the clavicle related to removal of plates and
    screws

The Rockwood Clavicle Pin fits into the intramedullary canal of the clavicle through a small incision over the fracture site with minimal soft-tissue dissection. The device, specially designed to allow natural compression at the fracture site, minimizes hardware migration. It can also be easily removed in an outpatient or clinic setting under local anesthesia.
