However, recent years have seen an increase in surgical interventions, particularly among adolescents, alongside evolving treatment approaches. This review provides an updated overview of the epidemiology, anatomy, diagnosis, classification, treatment, and complications of pediatric clavicle fractures, based on the latest evidence.
