[Biplanar clavicle extension osteotomy : A case report of an extension osteotomy due to shortening of a healed clavicle fracture with sagittal split technique and corticocancellous graft]

Clavicle fractures healed in shortening or malposition are extremely rare, especially in adolescence. In extreme cases, they can result in massive pain and limitation of movement. A causal therapeutic approach is lengthening osteotomy using the sagittal split technique with tricortical iliac crest interposition. In the context of the case study of a young patient, the procedure, operation as well as documentation of the postoperative results are reported.
