Schematic diagram of doubled-suture Nice knot in treating clavicle fracture. A and C The suture was doubled over itself to obtain two free limbs on one end and a loop on the other. The doubled-suture passed around the bone fragments and then the two free limbs went across the loop. B and D When the two free limbs of the suture were pulled apart, the bone fragment could be reduced and tied firmly, and the doubled-suture Nice knot could generate radial compression force within the bone fragments
