Many surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of Neer type II lateral end clavicle fractures like open reduction and internal fixation with hook plate, tension band wiring, coracoclavicular screw fixation, and distal clavicle locking plate. However, most of these operative procedures are associated with high perioperative complications ranging from hardware prominence, hardware failure, screw and plate pull-out, and infection. As the lateral end clavicle fractures has both vertical and horizontal stress forces, any technique counteracting both the forces should result in a better clinical outcome. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the functional and radiological outcome of type II lateral end clavicle fracture treated using pre-contoured locking plate along with coracoclavicular reconstruction with endobutton and fiberwire.  Methods  Thirty-two consecutive patients with Neer type II fractures of the lateral end of clavicle were treated surgically using pre-contoured locking plate and coracoclavicular reconstruction with endobutton and fiberwire between May 2014 and December 2016. Clinical outcome was assessed using the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score and Constant Murley score. The coracoclavicular distance was also recorded. These were compared to the unaffected side at one-year follow-up.  Results  The bony union was achieved in all cases. There were no major complications in any of the patients. All the patients were able to return to their preinjury level of activity. The UCLA score, the Constant Murley score, and coracoclavicular distance did not vary significantly at a one-year interval when compared to the normal shoulder.  Conclusion  Open reduction and internal fixation of Neer type II lateral end clavicle fractures using pre-contoured locking distal clavicle plate along with coracoclavicular reconstruction with endobutton and No. 2 fiberwire provide an excellent functional and radiological outcome.
