A clavicle fracture, also known as a broken collarbone, is a bone fracture of the clavicle. Symptoms typically include pain at the site of the break and a decreased ability to move the affected arm. Complications can include a collection of air in the pleural space surrounding the lung, injury to the nerves or blood vessels in the area, and an unpleasant appearance [1,2] . Objective: To study the surgical management and to assess its functional outcome in displaced mid shaft clavicular fractures. Patients of both sexes belonging to adult age group presenting with fracture clavicle to Orthopedic Department, Vydehi institute of medical sciences and research centre, Bengaluru, of are admitted from January 2015 to December 2015. In the present study maximum number of patients belongs to 28 to 37 years age group (9 cases) followed by 38 to 47 years age group (5 cases), maximum number of patients sustained clavicle fracture due to fall on shoulder (13 cases) followed by RTA (07 cases), maximum number of patients sustained clavicle fracture due to fall on shoulder (13 cases) followed by RTA (07 cases). Several studies have examined the safety and efficacy of primary open reduction and internal fixation for completely displaced midshaft clavicular fractures and have noted high union rate with a low complication rate.
A humerus fracture is a break of the humerus bone in the upper arm. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and bruising. There may be a decreased ability to move the arm and the person may present holding there elbow. Complications may include injury to an artery or nerve, and compartment syndrome.Objective: To study the efficacy, functional outcome for union of the fracture following surgery with locking plates in proximal humeral fractures. The present study was carried out between June 2015 to May 2016 in Orthopedic Department, Vydehi institute of medical sciences and research centre. In the proposed study 30 cases presenting with proximal humeral fractures are evaluated clinically and radio logically. In the present study maximum number of patients belongs to 31 to 40 years age group (12 cases) followed by 41 to 50 years age group (8 cases), maximum number of patients sustained femur fracture due to RTA (22 cases) followed by fall (08 cases), maximum number of patients sustained two part fracture (17 cases), followed by three part fracture (09 cases), four part fracture was seen in 3 cases and fracture dislocation in 1 case, 10 patients had excellent functional results and 15 patients had good functional outcome, while only 4 patients had fair functional outcome. The majority of patients can be treated with a sling or brace, and with time the fracture will heal. Casting is not possible with most types of humerus fractures. Surgery may be required when the bone fragments are far out of position.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
