MID-THIRD CLAVICLE FRACTURES: A NOVEL PATHWAY IDENTIFYING PATIENTS BENEFITING FROM SURGICAL FIXATION
Full Access
In our quality improvement project we implemented a novel pathway, performing acute fixation in mid-third clavicle fractures with >15% shortening. Patients with <15% shortening reviewed at 6 weeks, non-union risk identified as per Edinburgh protocol and decision to operate made accordingly. Retrospective pre-pathway analysis of patients presenting 04/2017–04/2019. Prospective post-pathway analysis of patients presenting 10/2020–10/2021. Fracture shortening measured using Matsumura technique. QuickDASH and recovery questionnaires posted to >15% shortening patients and done post-pathway at 3 months.Abstract
