Summary A finite element simulation on a fracture fixated clavicle was performed to study the effects of different fracture fixation parameters on the callus region. Specifically, parameters such as plate material, thickness, plate/bone gap, screw length, and locking vs. non‐locking screws were explored. Plate thickness and locking vs. non‐locking screws were found to be influential to construct stiffness where plate/bone gap and number of screws were not as sensitive.
