Can a clavicle fracture heal on its own with an upper and lower misalignment?

Patients with a clavicle fracture that has an up-and-down misalignment will have a deformed healing if the disease is in children and adolescents, and most patients are able to heal on their own. If the condition occurs in the elderly, there is a possibility of non-healing due to the longer healing time of the fracture in the elderly due to osteoporosis. Active and correct treatment is also needed after a patient has a clavicle fracture, which should be repositioned by manipulation under anesthesia and fixed with a figure-of-eight bandage to restore alignment and force lines to the fracture site, which can promote early fracture healing. If the position of the fracture is not satisfactory after manipulation, surgical treatment is also required. An incision is made, a plate is given for internal fixation, and postoperative oral bone grafting medication is given to accelerate the healing of the fracture site.
