- Lead Sponsor
- Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital
- Brief Summary
Both single and double CC loop stabilization groups demonstrated good functional outcomes with high union rates and low complications. Additionally, the single CC loop stabilization group had slightly better results regarding early functional outcomes, less implant irritation, and lower operative time. These results concluded that single CC loop stabilization is one of the alternative surgical techniques for unstable distal clavicular fractures with good outcomes.
