Plate fixation remains a staple for open fractures, closed fractures requiring open management, and nonunions, especially if bone grafting is required.

: Clavicle injuries are common and seem to be frequently subject to diagnostic misclassification. The accurate identification of clavicle fractures is essential, particularly for registry and Big Data analyses. This study aims to assess the frequency of diagnostic errors in clavicle injury classifications.

Background: Low-profile double plating seems a viable alternative to conventional single plating for fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures. This study aims to compare the two techniques regarding healing, complications, and removal rate.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all patients >16 years that underwent plate fixation for midshaft clavicle fractures between 2020 and 2022 at one trauma-center.

Background: The incidence rate of subsequent refracture after removal of the implant in mid-shaft clavicle fracture patients is relatively high. This can lead to additional medical costs and cause doctor-patient dispute. This study tries to introduce a new method to predict the refracture risk of the clavicle after hardware removal.

Article Synopsis
- Clavicle fractures are common in emergency departments, while acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are rare and even more so when combined with clavicle fractures.
- A 29-year-old male patient experienced both an AC joint dislocation and a midshaft clavicle fracture, leading to surgical treatment that resulted in excellent recovery and range of motion after one year.
- The case highlights the rarity of this combination of injuries and stresses the importance of timely diagnosis and investigation to achieve favorable functional outcomes, although there's still no agreement on the best treatment approach.
Triple Clavicle Injury: A Fracture of the Middle Third Associated With Acromioclavicular Dislocation and Sternoclavicular Subluxation.

In this report, we present a case of a triple clavicle injury, acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation, a middle third clavicle fracture, and a sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) subluxation, and describe its successful surgical treatment. A 49-year-old female patient sustained a 3 m fall, resulting in direct trauma to her left shoulder. Initial radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a displaced middle third clavicle fracture, a high-grade ACJ dislocation, and a posterior SCJ subluxation.
