Clavicle repair: surgical procedure for fracture
Clavicle repair with graft is a surgical procedure that involves repairing a broken or fractured clavicle bone using a graft. The procedure starts with the patient being put under anesthesia. The surgeon then makes an incision over the clavicle bone and removes any damaged tissues or bone fragments. The graft, which is typically taken from the patient’s own body or a donor, is then inserted into the damaged area and secured in place using screws or pins. The incision is then closed with stitches or staples. After the procedure, the patient will need to wear a sling or brace to immobilize the arm and allow for proper healing. Physical therapy may also be recommended to help restore strength and range of motion. This procedure is typically successful in restoring function and reducing pain in patients with clavicle fractures.
