The purpose of the current review is to describe the management of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures in pediatric and adolescent patients. Midshaft clavicle fractures are relatively common in pediatric and adolescent patients. They most commonly occur from direct trauma and are often related to sports participation in adolescents. Recent literature in the management of adult midshaft clavicle fractures has supported operative management due to improved functional outcomes, decreased time to union, leading to early return to activity. A similar trend of increasing frequency in operative management has been seen in pediatric and adolescent patients with no consensus in the literature on optimal management. Nonoperative treatment consists of with a brief period of sling immobilization followed by range of motion. Operative management may be considered for open fractures, fractures with significant neurovascular compromise and soft tissue complications. Studies have shown comparable mid- to long-term functional and patient-reported outcomes after operative and nonoperative management of midshaft clavicle fractures in pediatric patients. |
