This study looks at two ways to treat broken collarbones (also called clavicle fractures) in kids aged 10-18. It compares operative treatment, which involves surgery, to non-operative treatment, which does not. The study takes place at eight big hospitals specializing in children's injuries. The research aims to see if non-surgical treatment is safer, cheaper, and just as good as surgery. Kids with completely displaced fractures, where the bone pieces have moved apart, are included. Participants will be asked questions over the phone or by email for up to two years after treatment to see how they are doing.
- The study lasts up to two years with follow-up contacts.
- Participants are from ages 10-18 with specific types of fractures.
- Study coordinators will contact participants for long-term follow-up.
