BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to report a new surgical technique for the treatment of unstable distal clavicle fracture with modified tension band fixation (MTBF) and coracoclavicular (CC) stabilisation, and evaluate the radiologic and clinical outcome of these patients. [...] Key ResultOne patient had a new fracture around drilled holes for CC stabilisation by inappropriate tunnelling. CONCLUSION MTBF and CC stabilisation is a useful technique for treating an unstable distal clavicle fracture… Expand Abstract
