Abstract

Nonoperative treatment for clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular joint injuries is the mainstay of treatment in the pediatric population. The pediatric patient's significant remodeling potential allows for excellent results with nonoperative treatment. For adolescents presenting with displaced shortened clavicle fractures, primary operative management is a consideration with surgical strategies including plate fixation or intramedullary fixation for midshaft clavicular fractures. Dorsal tension band suture and CC ligament reconstruction is an indication for distal third fractures.
