Clavicle Fractures ================== Study of 61 people with simple closed mid-clavicle fractures compared figure-8 and sling methods: no cosmetic or functional difference in groups, and sling MUCH more comfortable. [Andersen K et al. Treatment of clavicular fractures: figure-of-eight bandage versus a single sling. Acta Ortho Scand 1987; 57:71] Other studies confirm. [Stanley et al. Injury 1988; 19:162.] [McCandless et al. Practitioner 1979;233:266.]
