Summary

Clavicle fractures are common among young people, generally as a consequence of car accidents, bike falls, and contact sports injuries. 15-20% of all clavicle fractures involve the lateral end of the bone. Thus, the distal clavicle fractures, in particular, have a high nonunion rate ranging from 21-33% when treated non-operatively, underscoring the usual advice for operative treatment. While significant research has been conducted on clavicle fractures and their treatment options, no definitive guidelines or optimal approaches have been established. Hence, this study aimed at assessing the clinical and radiological results of the two highly used surgical techniques, the Tension Band Wiring (TBW) and Hook plate ones, in addition to investigating the associated functional recovery and outcomes.

Conditions

  • Clavicle Fracture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

fixation method

The fixation methods were either involved trans-articular fixation through the acromioclavicular joint, supplemented with an additional cerclage wire tension band for enhanced stability. Or, creating a tunnel in the sub-acromial space posterior to the acromioclavicular joint and inserting the hook into this tunnel.
