    AbstractWe treated 14 patients having a symptomatic mid-shaft clavicular nonunion with intramedullary Rushpin fixation and autogenous bone grafting. 13 nonunions healed within 4 months. There were no complications related to the operation. After a mean follow-up of 40 (4-156) months, shoulder function (Constant-Murley score) was 90 (44-100)%, compared to the contralateral shoulder. Rushpin fixation with autogenous bone grafting is a simple and reliable method for treating nonunions of the midshaft of the clavicle.
