Video Summary
This video summary discusses a study on adolescent clavicle fractures and the potential benefits of surgical stabilization. The study, conducted by the FACT study group, analyzed a cohort of 137 patients aged 14 to 18 with comminuted fractures or shortening greater than 25mm, who were also active in sports. The patients were divided into non-operative and operative groups. The study found no difference in complications, patient-reported outcomes, or rate/level of return to sport between the two groups. However, the operative group had a slightly faster time to return to sport, approximately 3.1 weeks earlier. Overall, the study suggests that surgical treatment may not provide superior outcomes for severe clavicle fractures in athletic adolescents.
