Expectant Management of a Posteriorly Displaced Medial Clavicular Physeal Fracture in an Adolescent

This case supports expectant management as a viable option for medial clavicular physeal fractures with posterior displacement, particularly in delayed presentations without mediastinal involvement. Long-term follow-up demonstrated successful remodeling and return to sport without complications. Given the healing potential of the pediatric medial clavicular epiphysis, further studies are needed to investigate the viability of expectant management.

Abstract

This case supports expectant management as a viable option for medial clavicular physeal fractures with posterior displacement, particularly in delayed presentations without mediastinal involvement. Long-term follow-up demonstrated successful remodeling and return to sport without complications. Given the healing potential of the pediatric medial clavicular epiphysis, further studies are needed to investigate the viability of expectant management.
