ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aims of this study were to introduce a new surgical technique for unstable fracture of the distal clavicle, and to evaluate the clinical results. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The clinical results of nineteen patients who underwent surgical treatment for unstable fracture of the distal clavicle, during the period from March 1995 to December 1999, using a modified tension band fixation with follow up over one year were reviewed. Outcome was analyzed in terms of pain, function, radiologic result and union time.RESULTS:
All cases showed satisfactory results; eighteen cases (95%) were excellent, and one case (5%) was good. Radiologic union was achieved on average at eight weeks (six-tweleve) after operation. No complications such as pin migration, metal breakage and nonunion were seen.CONCLUSION:
Modified tension band fixation for unstable fracture of the distal clavicle was found to be a useful method, which is easy and induces no injury of the acromioclavicular joint, and provides enough stability for postoperative rehabilitation.
