Abstract
Clavicle fractures are one of the most common types of bone injuries in adults. Recently, the treatment protocol for these fractures has undergone changes.
Objective: To better understand the epidemiological and behavioral profile of these lesions when they require surgical treatment.
Methods: This is an analysis of a series of cases. Our sample included individuals undergoing surgical treatment for clavicle fractures.
Results: In total, 88 subjects fulfilled the predetermined criteria. Among these, 75 (85.22%) were male; automobile accidents corresponded to the largest etiological group, reaching 48% of prevalence; there was a slight predominance of the right side, totaling 45 cases (51%); most fractures were classified as Allman type I; an infection rate was observed in 1.13% of the cases; and the development of pseudarthrosis was identified in 2.27% of the patients.
Conclusion: The incidence of clavicle fracture is higher in young men, mainly caused by car accidents, being mostly located in the middle third. No statistical significance was found between the synthesis material data and the postoperative complication rate, revealing the absence of risk superiority between the different types of surgical approaches used. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.
