Allman: Type I midshaft; Type II distal; Type III medial third. Neer distal clavicle: Type I stable; IIA/IIB unstable (CC ligaments disrupted); Type III intra-articular; V epiphyseal. Distal (Neer IIB) has high nonunion; often operative.
What is the most common type of clavicle fracture according to the Allman classification?
Which Neer classification type is characterized by the distal fragment having both conoid and trapezoid ligaments intact?

Which type of clavicle fracture is considered unstable and has the highest non-union rate when treated non-operatively?
What is the primary restraint to superior displacement of the distal clavicle?
