- Discussion:
- comprise 12-15% of clavicular frx & are subclassified according to location of CC ligaments relative to fracture fragments;
- distal clavicle fractures may have a high incidence of non union but most of these are asymptomatic, and of these o
nly a small number will be severe enough to require surgery;
- Subclassification:
- Minimal displacement (Type I)
- Frx Medial to CC Ligaments (Type II)
- Articular Surface Fractures (Type III)
