During a two-year period, 100 outpatients were treated for mid-clavicular fractures in a prospective randomized trial with the purpose of comparing the results of figure-of-eight bandage with a simple sling. Thirty-nine patients were excluded because they did not wish to participate, complications or failures in registration. Thirty-four patients were treated with figure-of-eight bandage and 27 with a simple arm sling. After a follow-up period of three months, all patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically. No cases of non-union occurred. Concerning the period of treatment, the simple sling was superior to the figure-of-eight dressing because of fewer complications. It was less uncomfortable and demanded fewer resources. No differences were observed after three months regarding the functional and cosmetic end-results.
