Abstract
From July, 1992 we surgically treated 12 patients with fractures of the middle third of the clavicle. Ten of 12 patients were treated by internal fixation using a cancellous cannulated screw, and seven of these 10 patients were able to be operated on using a semi-closed technique. The patients' ages ranged from sixteen to seventy-six years. This technique is excellent because postoperative external fixation is not necessary and early elevation of the shoulder joint is possible.
