Abstract
The incidence of clavicular fractures in Belgium increased between 2006 and 2015. In the male population, the fracture incidence increased among all age groups, but in the female population, the increase was most noted in elderly patients. Although the preferred treatment strategy of clavicular fractures continues to be debated, there is a high and increasing rate of surgical treatment in Belgium, with an increasing percentage of patients that are surgically treated as outpatients.
