Drayer NJ, Dukes CA, Dudevoir ML, et al. - This study was intended to define the fracture pattern and pattern of fragmentation for displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures undergoing operative management. Researchers conducted a prospective observational study including a total of 53 individuals who had undergone operative repair of midshaft clavicle fracture. This study’s findings revealed that midshaft clavicle fractures that meet conventional criteria for operative repair occur in a predictable manner with butterfly fragments generated from anterior-inferior compression and simple fracture line generated from tension along the posterior-superior aspect of the clavicle. The data demonstrated that the knowledge of this pattern can help in surgical planning.
