The Clavicle Continues to Grow During Adolescence and Early Adulthood

ConclusionWe found substantial clavicular growth potential after age 18  years, when growth is thought to be nearly finished, as well as remodeling potential even up to age 25 years. Further research is needed, but our findings suggest that strategies for managing clavicle fracture in adults may not be applied universally to adolescents and young adults.
