Purpose: The optimal surgical approach for displaced midshaft clavicle fracture remains controversial.

Fifteen patients with Neer type II distal clavicle fracture were treated surgically.

Distal clavicle fracture accompanied by coracoid process one is a rare injury.

Conclusion: A clavicle fracture was present in more than 10% of the severely injured patients.

The distal clavicle fracture was fixed with K-wires and cerclage and the coracoid process was secured by a screw.

Early recovery to normal life is possible with surgical treatment in patients with distal clavicle fracture combined with coracoid fracture.

Methods: We included all severely injured patients (ISS ≥ 16) with a clavicle fracture from January 2007 -December 2011.

The duration from injury to operation ranged from 3.5 to 72 h,with a mean of 15.2 h. No clavicle fracture was found in all cases.

Displaced midshaft clavicle fractures were the most common type of fracture.

Objective: To identify prevalence, fracture type and accompanying injuries of clavicle fractures in the severely injured patient.

Background: The last decade has shown a shift toward operative treatment of a subset of midshaft clavicle fractures.

Studies that compared plate fixation with intramedullary fixation in patients with fresh unilateral displaced midshaft clavicle fractures were included.

Conclusion: Major re-intervention and re-fracture after implant removal occurred more frequently after plate fixation of non-comminuted, displaced midshaft clavicle fractures.

Methods: A prospective cohort of conservatively managed displaced midshaft clavicle fractures underwent ultrasound scanning at three-, six- and 12-weeks post-injury.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare plate fixation and intramedullary fixation for midshaft clavicle fractures.

Background: The number of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures treated surgically is increasing and plate fixation is often the treatment modality of choice.
