[Case-control studies of the treatment for the distal clavicle fracture by elastic band inclined "8" fixation].

Objective: To compare the effects of the treatment for the distal clavicle fracture with two different methods.

Methods: There were 120 cases of the distal clavicle fractures involved in the study. Among them, 75 cases were treated by self-improved elastic band inclined "8" fixation (Manipulation group), 45 cases were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with clavicular hook plate (Operation group).
