Outcomes Following Fixation of Distal Clavicle Fractures Utilizing Arthroscopically Assisted Coracoclavicular Ligament Stabilization with a Suspensory Endobutton and Cerclage Tape

Distal one-third clavicle fractures are frequently unstable and often require surgical fixation due to high rates of nonunion. Many common methods of fixation have high rates of union but are associated with hardware discomfort and need for secondary surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of a fixation technique involving arthroscopically assisted open reduction internal fixation of unstable distal clavicle fractures via a coracoclavicular (CC) suspensory endobutton and cerclage tape.
