Sumario:The distal clavicle fracture is one of the most common injuries around the shoulder joint. There is no consensus regarding a gold standard treatment. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages. Currently, coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization is one of the most popular techniques because this operative procedure provides good stability of the fracture and has few complications. The CC stabilization is a suspensory fixation that consists of many two-CC-loop arrangements. It is, however, difficult to gain equal tension in both CC loops because one loop is always tighter and has greater action in maintaining bone alignment than the other loop. To solve this problem, we propose a double O loops technique to achieve two equal tension loops.
