TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Partial excision of the clavicle for nonunion in National Hunt Jockeys JO - Journal of bone and joint surgery: British volume A1 - Middleton, S. B. A1 - Foley, S. J. A1 - Foy, M. A. SP - 778 EP - 780 VL - 77 IS - 5 N2 - National Hunt jockeys suffer a disproportionate number of clavicular fractures and their return to riding may be considerably delayed by refracture and symptomatic nonunion, with obvious implications. We report six such cases in which excision of the clavicular fragment distal to the fracture was associated with an early return to work and no recurrent injury to the shoulder.
