The DIsplaced DistAl Clavicle Fracture Trial (DIDACT)

DIDACT: Surgery compared with sling immobilisation in the management of adults with a displaced fracture of the distal clavicle: a multi-centre, pragmatic, parallel-group, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial.

The study aims to determine whether self-reported functional outcome, measured by the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) at one year, following sling immobilisation is not inferior to surgical fixation in adults with a displaced fracture of the distal clavicle and whether this is a cost-effective treatment option.
