MIMINALLY INVASIVE OSTEOSYSTHESIS FOR BILATERAL CLAVICLE MIDSHAFT FRACTURES: A CASE REPORT

Bilateral clavicle fractures are rare, with an overall incidence of 0.43%. Various treatment methods exist, but no consensus has been reached. We report a case of a 51-year-old male patient with bilateral midshaft clavicle fractures treated with minimally invasive Osteosynthesis. After 14 months of follow-up, bone healing and functional recovery were excellent. In conclusion, minimally invasive fixation is a viable alternative treatment for this fracture type, complementing established methods. The selection of a suitable minimally invasive fixation device should be individualized for each fracture type.
