Predictors of nonunion after nonoperative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures

This study highlights the potential of predictive models to identify patients at risk for nonunion. Age and smoking increase the risk of nonunion, while comminution showed a protective effect. These findings support personalized care to optimize treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes. Further refinement and inclusion of additional risk factors are essential to improve the model's accuracy and clinical applicability.
