2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Remodeling of Adolescent Displaced Clavicle Fractures: A FACTS Study

Remodeling of Adolescent Displaced Clavicle Fractures: A FACTS Study

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a study on adolescent clavicle fractures and the role of fracture remodeling. The study aimed to evaluate and quantify clavicle remodeling in adolescent patients with completely displaced fractures and identify factors that could influence this process. The study used retrospective data from two different cohorts and analyzed patients aged 10 to 19 years with nonoperatively treated fractures. Results showed that over time, there was significant remodeling in terms of shortening, superior displacement, and angulation. The study suggests that adolescent clavicle fractures undergo substantial remodeling, highlighting their differences from adult clavicle fractures. The speaker expresses gratitude to the team involved in conducting the study.
