Abstract
Clavicle fractures account for approximately 2.6% of all fractures. Non-union following a clavicle fracture is associated with morbidity. The management of clavicle fractures, specifically operative and non-operative, has been debated. This article aims to provide clear, evidence-based guidance to direct clinical decision-making.
期刊介绍:
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
