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.
