Dr Duckworth has published a research paper on how limited-incision plating is a safe and highly effective alternative for treating midshaft clavicle fractures.

I first saw Matthew who was a 20yr old professional skier when he had fallen off a trampoline whilst training and presented with a 3 week old displaced fracture of his clavicle which was in 2 main parts.

While lower limb fractures are more common in sport, upper body injuries including fractures of the clavicle or collar bone also occur.

21-year-old professional mountain biker incurred a series of fractures to his collar bone, now well healed and back on the international mountain biking circuit.

Collarbone fractures are common injuries in jockeys and track workers who are involved in riding and training horses.

Dr Duckworth has a published journal article reviewing the outcomes of patients receiving surgery at the clinic.

A new surgical device to fix broken collar bones is resulting in faster healing times and better range of movement in patients, according to Sydney orthopaedic surgeon Dr David Duckworth.

This study reports the results of open reduction and internal fixation on displaced, medial end clavicle fractures, in five adult patients.

Clavicle fractures can be stabilized through a limited incision technique due to new low profile anatomical plates.
