Abstract
Background Recent studies have demonstrated that nonoperative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures have a high prevalence of symptomatic malunion and nonunion with nonoperative treatment [Hill et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br 79: 537–539, 1997; Mckee et al. J Trauma 47: 616, 2001; Simon Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol 20: 521–525, 2010]. Although good results have been demonstrated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), complications still exist thus fixation was augmented. This retrospective study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) augmented with bioresorbable calcium phosphate (BCP) cement compared with standard autogenous bone grafting (ABG) of acute displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures.
