Treatment of Distal Clavicle Fracture Using Kirschner Wires and Tension-Band Wires

Abstract

Edwards reported a rate of 45% delayed union and 30% nonunion in type II fractures. Several techniques had been described in the relevant literature. In our practice, fixation with Kirschner wires and tension-band wires has been successful in the treatment for displaced distal clavicle fracture.
