Do you have to operate on a broken clavicle?

If a patient’s clavicle fracture is relatively minor, it can be treated without surgery. However, if the fracture is more severe, it is usually treated with surgery. If a patient has a clavicle fracture, it may be caused by a localized external impact or other reasons. If the fracture is only in the middle section and no obvious dislocation is found after examination, surgery is not needed for the time being, and only the use of eight bandages or clavicle fixation tape or other methods of immobilization can be dealt with. If it is a fracture of the acromion end of the clavicle, it does not necessarily need to be operated, and needs to be treated according to the situation. If the patient’s clavicle fracture is more serious, with obvious dislocation or combined with vascular and nerve injuries, or clavicle acromion fracture, the patient’s condition can only be quickly recovered through surgical treatment. Specific treatment methods, it is recommended that the patient consult a doctor in time, according to the results of the examination under the guidance of the doctor to choose.
