These data from the adult population appear to have sparked interest in the operative treatment of pediatric and adolescent clavicle fractures, with several important studies emerging in the last few years. In 2009, McGraw et al. reported the results of a population-based radiographic study of clavicle development from birth to eighteen years of age10. Their data showed that 80% of clavicular length is reached by the age of nine years and three months in girls and by slightly older than twelve years of age in boys. Similarly, older reports in the lit- erature emphasized ten years of age as the point at which re- modeling of the ‘‘fracture bump’’ became less predictable
