Intraoperative digital image and X-ray film of the clavicle fracture fixation. A Exposure of comminuted midshaft clavicle fracture. Many displaced bone fragments could be found within the fracture region, and the soft tissue attached to the bone fragments was maximally preserved. B Preoperative X-ray film of the clavicle. C Doubled-suture Nice knot fixed the fracture in anatomical reduction. D Intraoperative X-ray film revealed that the fracture achieved anatomical reduction after the clavicle was fixed with doubled-suture Nice knot. E A locking plate was subsequently applied to fix the fracture. F Postoperative X-ray film of the clavicle
