This orthopedic trauma learning case presents a minimally invasive approach to osteosynthesis of a midshaft clavicle fracture. The procedure is discussed in the beach-chair position, with emphasis on pre-incision fluoroscopic mapping, identification of clavicular borders, planning of medial and lateral portals, and controlled creation of a tunnel for plate passage. The case highlights procedural reasoning behind implant positioning, fragment mobility during preliminary fixation, reduction maneuvers, restoration of length and alignment, and the use of bridge plating principles when comminution is present. Attention is also given to clavicle anatomy, soft-tissue preservation, avoidance of anterior implant prominence, and layered closure over the implant. The content is intended for procedural education and should be reviewed by qualified medical professionals before any clinical application.
