Intervention

Procedure:
Non-operative Treatment
Standard protocol for conservative treatment will consist of the implementation of a sling, for clavicular support and patient comfort. Pendulum or gentle Range of Motion (ROM) shoulder exercises may be implemented at any time as dictated by the attending surgeon.
Operative Treatment
The operating surgeon will determine the positioning of the patient for surgery. ORIF of the distal clavicle fracture will be carried out as follows: Anatomic reduction of the fracture Definitive fixation with a contoured clavicle plate and screws; a AO hook plate; a 3.5 LCDC, reconstruction, or compression plate is acceptable; a 1/3 tubular plate is not acceptable Use of bone graft is optional (iliac crest bone autograft)

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The primary outcome measurement will be patient DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Instrument) scores. The DASH is a patient-oriented, limb-specific, functional measurement questionnaire. 2 years
Secondary The secondary outcome measurement patients' functional shoulder scores as defined by Constant's Shoulder Score (i.e. pain, activities of daily living, range of motion and power). 2 years
