Comparative StudyClavicle anatomy and the applicability of intramedullary midshaft fracture fixation.
This study investigated the morphologic safety and applicability of intramedullary fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures by analyzing the pertinent clavicle anatomy using 3-dimensional computer simulation. ⋯ In most clavicles, straight intramedullary fixation appears to be a morphologically safe and effective method of fixation.
