The purpose of this study was to report on a new surgical technique for the treatment of unstable distal clavicle fracture with modified coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization using a ligament augmentation and reconstruction system (LARS) of an artificial ligament, and to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes with hook-plate fixation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Thirty patients with unstable distal clavicle fractures were treated with modified coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization using either a ligament augmentation and reconstruction system (LARS) or open reduction internal fixation with a hook plate. Indexes for evaluation included fracture healing, quality of reduction, and presence of complications. Shoulder function was evaluated using the Constant-Murley score.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Patients were assessed at a mean time of 31.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a010.1 months follow-up. All patients experienced radiographic union. The result at the last follow-up showed that patients treated surgically with ligament augmentation and reconstruction system had better Constant-Murley scores for shoulder function and lower complication rates than those treated with a hook plate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Treatment using LARS for unstable distal clavicle fractures resulted in excellent union rates and functional outcomes.
