Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Clavicular fractures are common injuries. The aim of this study is to present results of surgical treatment of midclavicular fracture managed with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). This study involved 30 patients, with 13 patients (43.3 %) in age group of 20-29years , with completely displaced midclavicular fractures, 18 on the right and 12 on the left, stabilized by plate. One patient developed an early wound infection, which was successfully managed by surgical debridement. 27 (90%) patients had a union time in between 8- 12 weeks, with one case of non-union. Functional outcome assessed according to Neer shoulder scoring system. 24 patients has excellent results, 4 patients had satisfactory results, 1 patient had unsatisfactory results and one patient had failure .Plate fixation of completely displaced midshaft clavicular fracture provides stable fixation and improves the functional outcome.
