Clavicle fractures represent one of the most frequent type of fractures. However, there is no consensus on the treatment of these fractures and their relative indications for surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether surgical treatment of mid-diaphyseal clavicular fractures indeed results in fewer complications and better radiological outcomes, as current trends suggest, in comparison to conservative treatment.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of clavicla pro humero (CPH) reconstruction for pediatric patients with challenges in proximal humeral reconstruction, focusing on survival rates, functional outcomes, and complications.
- Eight patients aged 6 to 14 were monitored over an average follow-up of about 54.6 months, with findings showing a high rate of complications, particularly clavicle fractures (87.5%) and a bone union rate averaging 3.8 months.
- The study concludes that while CPH leads to quick bone healing, the significant complication rate makes it unadvisable as a routine surgical option when better alternatives exist.
