title: [Treatment of fractures of the clavicle by closed pinning inside-out without back-and-forth].
abstract: Pinning of fractures of the clavicle is easily and safely done by introducing the pin through the medial fragment. The pointed tip is embedded into the cortex of the lateral fragment and the inner end of the pin is bent at a right angle to fix it to the bone. Insertion is made with image intensification to avoid vascular damage and to guide the passage of the pin through the medial fragment without danger. Of 25 fractures treated in this way, only two, treated at the beginning of the series, required open reduction. No other immobilisation was necessary. All the fractures united uneventfully.
