Osteosynthesis of clavicle fractures and its complications (Part 2. Review of foreign literature)

A clavicle fracture is one of the most common skeletal injuries in active adult working-age population. Thus, it is a socially sig- nificant injury. The literature review is based on the analysis of foreign primary sources, mainly from 2013 to 2024, containing the results of current research in the field of clavicle fractures. Earlier researches were also studied. The objective of the study is to develop a method for surgical treatment of clavicle fractures that minimizes possible complica- tions, reduces the time of treatment and rehabilitation of patients. Currently, there are many methods for treating clavicle fractures, both conservative and various options for surgical interventions. Each of them has both positive and negative qualities, none of them excludes the development of complications, in particular, various forms of impaired fusion of the clavicle. Complications significantly increase the time of treatment of the patient, complicate his rehabilitation, reduce the possibility of returning to work and active life.
