Abstract
Conservative treatment remains the gold standard in treatment of simple undisplaced midshaft clavicle fractures, but for displaced and comminuted fractures surgical intervention is appropriate especially in young active adults. Surgical stabilisation can be achieved using either a plate or an intramedullary device. One of dreaded complication of intramedullary device in migration of the implant. We have used a screw intramedullary device with screw mechanism at one end which can get hold in the medial cancellous bone, thus preventing chances of migration. This report describes the technique of using the screw intramedullary nail for displace clavicle fracture. Keywords: clavicle fracture, intramedullary nailing.
