Middle third clavicular fracture is effectively treated by conservative means. Previous studies showed that comminution and displacement of clavicular fractures might affect fracture healing. However, the clavicle horizontally aligns in the shoulder girdle and has different biomechanics from vertical weight-bearing bones. Therefore, this study was conducted with the hypothesis that comminution has no effect in worsening fracture healing and union configurations in conservatively treated middle third clavicular fractures.
