Fixation of comminuted midshaft clavicle fractures with bone fragments separated by soft tissue using a novel double ligature technique

摘要

Rationale:Clavicle fractures are common, and mostly occur in the midshaft. Methods for operative treatment of midshaft clavicle fractures are evolving, as they improve clinical outcomes compared with traditional conservative management. However, fixation of comminuted midshaft clavicle fractures with bone fragments separated by soft tissue remains a challenge.
