Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of plate osteosynthesis versus non-operative management for mid-shaft clavicle fractures-A prospective study.
Treatment for mid-shaft clavicle fractures has recently seen a paradigm shift towards surgical management. The aim of the study was to compare clinical and functional outcome between plate osteosynthesis and conservative line of management in middle-third clavicle fractures. ⋯ Plating for displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures is can lead to better functional and radiological outcomes with minimal complications as compared to the conservative modality of treatment.
