A comparative study of stabilization of shaft clavicle fractures using intramedullary nailing vs plating

Abstract

Background: Clavicle fractures account for approximately 2-4% of all adult fractures and about half of all fractures in the shoulder girdle. Conservative management poften leads to cosmetic deformities, complications such as axillary pressure sores, upper extremity edema and venous congestion, brachial plexus palsy, worsening of deformity and increased risk for non-union. There are two commonly performed surgical techniques used to repair displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, open reduction and plate fixation and intramedullary nailing. The present study was conducted to evaluate the end results of Mid shaft clavicle fractures treated in Tertiary Care Centre by various surgical modalities and to evaluate the effectiveness of the different modalities of the treatment and their complications. Materials and Methods: The present study was a Randomized, Prospective study carried out from October 2016 to March 2018 among patients admitted with midshaft clavicle fractures operated with intramedullary nailing and Open reduction and internal fixation with plating, patients were selected which were operated during the study duration at

Utility of tens nail and planting for fracture of mid shaft clavicle fracture: A narrative review

“…The findings of the study showed a promising role of TENS as compared to plating in management of midshaft clavicle fractures. Sharma et al (2019) [15] in a comparative study that included 50 midshaft clavicle fracture cases used plating and TENS for surgical treatment in 25 cases each. Mean age of patients in plating and TENS groups was 35.84 and 36.02 years respectively.…”

Feature-Based Design of Personalized Anatomical Plates for the Treatment of Femoral Fractures

“…Pre-bent anatomic plates proposed in past decades have been recommended for the treatment of various types of fractures, especially for particular types of complex fractures [6] . Clinical results show that pre-bent plates contribute to the functional recovery of patients and enhance the success rate of the fracture treatment [7] [8] .…”
