case_images: Following bone tissue transplant, the clavicle was reduced and internal fixation performed with a 3.5 mm seven-hole locking compression plate (LCP) (Synthes) in compression (Figure 5). Following a normal postoperative course, clinical and radiological follow-up showed complete isometric anatomical healing at 1 year from the operation (Figure 5).
case_images: X-ray imaging at 1 year.
