title: [Conservative treatment of clavicular fractures].
abstract: The outcome of 99 clavicular fractures was examined retrospectively through a questionnaire and, in 20 cases, clinical examination. Primary treatment was in all cases a simple sling or a figure of eight bandage. The aim of the study was to examine prognostic factors in relation to the end-result. The fractures were classified, according to the roentgenograms, and the primary dislocation, primary shortening and secondary shortening of the shoulder were recorded. The end-result was expressed as the degree of pain. Statistically significantly more patients with group two type two fractures had a poor result. No other prognostic factors were found.
