Clavicle Shaft Open Reduction Internal Fixation

Clavicle Shaft Open Reduction Internal Fixation is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Clavicle shaft open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is a surgical procedure performed to treat a fractured clavicle (collarbone). The clavicle is a long bone located between the shoulder and the sternum (breastbone), and fractures often occur due to falls, sports injuries, or motor vehicle accidents. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision over the fractured area, realigns the broken pieces of the clavicle (open reduction), and stabilizes them using metal plates, screws, or pins (internal fixation). This helps to maintain proper alignment of the bone fragments while they heal, promoting optimal recovery and reducing the risk of complications. Clavicle shaft ORIF is typically performed under general anesthesia, and recovery involves a period of immobilization followed by physical therapy to restore strength and range of motion in the shoulder and arm.
