Acceptable healing rates have been reported; however, complications and the need for additional procedures are a concern. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes and healing rates of an arthroscopy-assisted technique for fixation of unstable distal third clavicle fractures.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Seven patients presenting to a single surgeon with displaced distal clavicle fractures were included. A curved suspensory button and suture tape construct with a single coracoclavicular tunnel was used. Visual Analog Scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, Simple Shoulder Test, and Subjective Shoulder Value scores were analyzed preoperatively and at final follow-up. Radiographic evidence of union, maintenance of reduction and complications were recorded. All patients were available for 1-year follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Mean Visual Analog Scale pain score improved from 6.1\u00b11.1 to 1.1\u00b11.0 (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P=<\/jats:italic>0.022).
