Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of novel intramedullary nailing with mini-invasive plating in surgical fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures.
This prospective randomized pilot study sought to determine whether fixation with Sonoma CRx intramedullary pin is a comparable alternative to minimally invasive plating fixation in patients with displaced clavicle fractures. ⋯ Given the shorter operative times and better cosmetic appearance, Sonoma CRx intramedullary pin may be an alternative to minimally invasive plating. Further safety studies are warranted.
