Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Fractures of the clavicle are managed conservatively by most of the orthopedicians. However, the management of the displaced fractures of clavicle has always been a dilemma. In our study, we studied the results of displaced clavicle fractures managed with open reduction and internal fixation with anatomical clavicle plate. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in which we included 30 patients of displaced clavicle fractures who were managed with Open reduction and internal fixation with plating. The patients were evaluated clinically using DASH scoring and radiologically using plain radiographs. Results: In our study of 30 clavicle fractures, aged between 19 to 60 years, male to female ratio was 8:2. 18 patients (60%) had left side clavicle fracture while as 12 (40%) were right sided. 21 of the fractures were of the middle third (70%). Excellent result was seen in 16.66% (5 patients) while as 80% (24 patients) showed good results and poor results were seen in only 3.33% (1 patient). No intra-operative complication was encountered. Surgical site infection was seen among 3 patients, which was managed with daily antiseptic dressings and antibiotics. All the patients had full range of motion in the ipsilateral shoulder at final followup. Conclusion: We recommend the use of clavicle plating in displaced clavicle fractures in view of the results achieved in our study.
