Abstract

A fracture of the tip of the coracoid is a rare but challenging fracture. A surgical indication is required in case of a displaced fracture. Screws and suture anchors often do not offer a reliable fixation in the case of very small fragments. We describe our hardwareless technique that consists of an osteosuture with a 90-degree suture threads configuration that we called the x-mas box technique. This procedure is cost-effective and it provides stable fixation and low complications rate.
