Clavicle Fracture (Broken Collarbone) 鎖骨骨折
Clavicle fractures are most commonly classified according to the Allman classification and/or the Robinson classification [2].
The location and type of fracture is important in the decision-making as it influences management strategies.
In adolescent patients (≤ 18 years old) with displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, operative treatment may offer no benefit compared to non-operative treatment. Operative treatment is associated with similar union rates and substantial reoperation rates for implant removal [1].
Operative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures in adult patients is associated with higher union rates and better early patient-reported outcomes than non-operative treatment. However, practitioners may consider either operative or non-operative treatment as both are associated with similar long-term patient-reported outcomes and patient satisfaction.
