Abstract

Clavicle fractures are the most common fracture in the human body, accounting for 5–10% of all fractures presenting to the Emergency Department. The treatment of clavicle fractures historically has been more on the conservative side, but there has been recent evidence that operative management could reduce the incidence of adverse outcomes post-fracture. This review focuses on analysing the previous and present scientific literature on post-operative and post-conservative clavicle complications. This review concludes that the evidence for surgical management of clavicle fractures with certain indications is controversial and further studies are required.
