Patients with unstable distal clavicle fractures Distal clavicle fracture
Conditions
Interventions
Patients in the intervention group underwent single-tunnel unidirectional coracoclavicular loop stabilization. An Endobutton (Smith &
Nephew) loaded with Ultratape (Smith &
Nephew) was then introduced to single-tunnel of clavicle. Ultratape was passed beneath the coracoid process. The free limbs of the Ultratape were then passed through the Endobutton, creating a four-
