Functional and Radiographic Outcomes of Nonoperative Treatment of Displaced Adolescent Clavicle Fractures

Abstract

Regardless of patient age, sports participation, and final clavicle shortening, no differences in pain, strength, shoulder range of motion, or subjective outcome scores were found between the injured and uninjured limbs of adolescents treated nonoperatively for a displaced, shortened, midshaft clavicle fracture.
