Abstract
Clavicle fractures have been treated in the past by conservative means such as figure of eight bandage, sling and swathe etc. Although acceptable for middle and medial fractures, distal clavicle fractures often require open reduction and internal fixation. We present the results of 11 cases treated with open reduction and internal fixation with kirshner wires. Our results were good.
