Internal fixation of lateral clavicle fractures with Vicryl tape

Six consecutive Neer type II fractures of the lateral end of the clavicle were treated by indirect open reduction and internal fixation using Vicryl tape. All fractures healed within 6-8 weeks after the operation. The pre-injury level of function was restored in all cases. This method of fixation is relatively simple and appears to be a valuable alternative to Bosworth-type screw fixation.

However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
