Abstract

Fractures of the clavicle are common and have been typically addressed to nonoperative treatment.However,to the comminution or complete displacement,there is a marked risk of nonunion,malunion,and poor outcome.Several treatments have been proposed,but there is no consensus about the treatment of choice.This article investigates the most common treatments and tries to find the indications for the treatments,and the new direction for the treatments of fractures of the clavicle.
