Abstract:
Clavicle fractures are among the most common injuries treated by orthopaedists. Until 2005, no matter the amount of displacement, their treatment was rather standard – immobilize for a few weeks, and then gradually increase activity until the fracture healed. In 2007 Dr. Mike McKee published a landmark article in JBJS that concluded that clavicle fractures with displacement greater than 100% had better outcomes if treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Since that time, numerous studies have re-examined this conclusion, some supporting its findings, and some disputing them. On November 15, 2017 at 7 PM EST, JBJS will join with JSES (Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery) to present a webinar looking at the current paradigm for treatment of clavicle fractures. The webinar will be co-moderated by Dr. William Mallon, editor-in-chief of JSES and Dr. Andy Green, deputy editor of JBJS. The webinar will focus on two recent clavicle-fracture papers. • Dr. Philip Ahrens will discuss his very recent JBJS paper, “The Clavicle Trial: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Operative with Nonoperative Treatment of Displaced Midshaft Clavicle Fractures.” • Dr. Brian Feeley will discuss his 2016 JSES paper, “Plate Fixation of Midshaft Clavicular Fractures: Patient-Reported Outcomes and Hardware-Related Complications.” After each paper, expert commentary will be provided. Discussing Dr. Ahrens’ paper will be Dr. Michael McKee, recently named chairman of orthopaedics at the University of Arizona. Dr. Gus Mazzocca, chairman of orthopaedics at the University of Connecticut, will comment on Dr. Feeley’s paper. The webinar will then be open to addressing viewer-submitted questions for the authors and the commentators. ________________________________________________________ All registrants will have free access to the webinar for 24 hours following the live broadcast.
