Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Non-union frequently follows distal clavicle fracture. Several surgical techniques have been developed in order to reduce the non-union rate and improve functional outcome. This study shows result of tension band wiring technique in which the acromioclavicular joint is spared. Fourteen patients with displaced distal clavicle fractures received open reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires (K-wires) and tension-band wires, from June 2012 to May 2013. The indication for surgery was type IIa fracture or fracture with displacement. The age group of the patients were 16-60 years. Cases were followed up for an average of seventeen months post operatively. Assessed as per CONSTANT score for functional results. Excellent result was seen in around 92.85 % patients and good results seen in 7.15 % patients. Open reduction and tension band wiring is a standard method for the management of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures in adults. It not only obviates many of the complications of non-operative treatment but also gives better functional results
