Primaire uitkomstmaten
To assess the influence of clavicular shortening after fracture consolidatin of a midshaft clavicular fracture, on the Active Range of Motion of the shoulder, with help of a 3D-Electromagnetic Motion Tracking Device (Flock of Birds) after one and five years post-fracture.

Doel van het onderzoek
From the literature it i likely that shortening of the clavicule >15mm leads to impairment of the shoulder function (especially regarding abduction). This association has not been scientifically proven, howeer, partially due to the fact that methods for a precise measurement of functional impairment of the shoulder are lacking. In this pilot study we want to study whether a new technique, 3D-Electromagnetic Motion Tracking Device (Flock of Birds), can provide more insight into this association. We assume that at most 10% of the patients with clavicular shortening <15 mm experience impairment in abduction. On anatomical grounds we expect that this percentage is at least 50% in the patients with a clavicular shortening> 15 mm.
