    AbstractBetween 1986 and 1988 67 patients with distal clavicular fracture were treated at the trauma hospital in Innsbruck. Depending on type of fracture conservative treatment (using a spica or other bandages) was performed in those cases without dislocation. Operation was necessary if coracoclavicular ligament was ruptured and dislocation of the distal clavicular end was found in X-rays. The most common practice was the use of K-wires and wire-loops. Plate fixation was necessary in one case of delayed fracture healing. No pseudarthrosis was seen in X-rays, mobility of the shoulder girdle was good and symptoms of pain were rare.
