Description
Pontus Christersson and co-authors present a 2026 study protocol for a Scandinavian trial on broken collarbones. The trial covers displaced fractures at the outer end of the clavicle, an uncommon break where surgery and watchful care remain in dispute. One hundred patients aged eighteen to sixty-five will be randomized across hospitals in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
Half will have surgery and half will not, with an option to cross over after six weeks. Patients who decline randomization can join an observational group instead. The main outcome is an arm, shoulder, and hand disability score at one year. The team will also track pain, quality of life, healing, complications, and return to work.
