Abstract
The surgical treatment of medial clavicle nonunion is associated with high complication and failure rates, particularly with regard to metal work migration. Therefore, we describe a simple surgical procedure for displaced medial clavicle fractures using a small T-shaped plate and multiple tension band sutures. After stabilizing the medial clavicle fracture using a small nonunion for the distal radius, our simple technique for preventing high complication and failure rates is performed easily and effectively, with sufficient tension band sutures.
