While fractures with less than 2\u00a0cm shortening are often treated conservatively, emerging evidence suggests that even minor shortening can increase the risk of ScD and impair functional outcomes. This study investigates the impact of surgical versus conservative treatment on ScD and functional recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective analysis of 60 patients with isolated midshaft clavicle fractures was conducted. Patients were categorized into surgical and conservative groups. Fracture shortening was assessed using radiographs, outcomes were assessed using the SICK Scapula Rating Scale, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Scale and Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
