Overview

A multicentre multinational RCT to investigate whether non-surgical treatment is non-inferior to surgical treatment for displaced extraarticular lateral clavicle fractures in adults.

Description

The aim of this study is to investigate whether non-surgical treatment is non inferior to surgical treatment for displaced lateral clavicle fractures with regards to functional outcome measured with different patient-reported outcome measures. Patients aged 18-65 years will be randomized to non-surgical or surgical (pragmatic) treatment. The primary outcome is the Disabilities of Arm Hand and Shoulder (DASH) score at 1 year.
