We reviewed 127 cases (128 clavicles) who underwent various surgicl procedures for treatment of clavicular fractures between 1988 and 1993.
105 cases were treated with plate fixation. Delayed union was seen in 4 cases and nonunion occurred in 6 cases.
The rate of nonunion in cases with clavicular fracture treated surgically was 4.7%.
All cases of nonunion improved with plate fixation and bone-grafting.
