The aim of this study was to present the results of treatment of displaced lateral clavicle fractures by an arthroscopically inserted tightrope device (‘Dogbone’, Arthrex). We performed a retrospective series of our patients treated with this technique between 2015 and 2019. Patients were identified using the ‘CRS Millennium’ software package and operation notes/clinic letters were analysed. We performed an Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) on all the patients at final follow-up. Our electronic ‘PACS’ system was used to evaluate union in the post-operative radiographs.Abstract
