| Popis: | Treatment of distal clavicle fractures ranges from nonoperative to operative approaches. Various surgical procedures have been described in the literature, each with potential complications. For fractures treated operatively, the goal is to maximize stability and functionality while minimizing pain and deformity. This article describes a double-button suture system using a mini-open technique to repair a distal clavicle fracture providing stable fixation with minimal disruption of the surrounding anatomy. |
