Last decade, a shift towards operative treatment of midshaft clavicle fractures has been observed [T. Huttunen et al., Injury, 2013]. Current fracture fixation plates are however suboptimal, leading to reoperation rates up to 53% [J. G. Wijdicks et al., Arch. Orthop. Trauma Surg, 2012]. Plate irritation, potentially caused by a bad geometric fit and plate prominence, has been found to be the most important factor for reoperation [B. D. Ashman et a.l, Injury, 2014]. Therefore, thin plate implants that do not interfere with muscle attachment sites (MAS) would be beneficial in reducing plate irritation. However, little is known about the

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of clavicular shortening, measured by three-dimensional computerized tomography (3DCT), on functional outcomes and satisfaction in patients with healed, displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures up to one year following injury. The data used in this study were collected as part of a multicenter, prospective randomized control trial comparing open reduction and plate fixation with nonoperative treatment for displaced midshaft

Although most uncomplicated paediatric fractures do not require routine long-term follow-up with an orthopaedic surgeon, practitioners with limited experience dealing with paediatrics fractures will often defer to a strategy of unnecessary frequent clinical and radiographic follow-up. Development of an evidence-based clinical care pathway may help reduce unnecessary radiation exposure to this patient population and reduce costs to patient families and the healthcare system. A retrospective analysis including patients who presented to SickKids hospital between October 2009 and October 2014 for management of
