Surgical fixation reduces scapular dyskinesis and mal-union rates in midshaft clavicle fractures: a retrospective comparative analysis

Key Points

• Surgical fixation significantly reduces mal-union rates compared to non-surgical options, which impacts recovery.
• The incidence of scapular dyskinesis decreased in patients receiving surgical intervention amid fracture management.
• Retrospective comparative analysis utilized data from multiple hospitals to assess fracture outcomes post-surgery.
• Significance of the findings calls for broader adoption of surgical fixation in midshaft clavicle fractures.
