Abstract
Operative fixation for acute displaced midshaft clavicle fractures provides improved functional outcomes and patient satisfaction over nonoperative treatment. Although open reduction and plate fixation is most commonly used, intramedullary fixation produces similar patient outcomes with fewer symptomatic hardware or scar complications. The purpose of this Technical Note is to detail a straightforward and cost-efficient method of intramedullary clavicle fracture fixation using a headless cannulated screw.
