“…[12] In young adults, these fractures are usually related to sports or vehicle accidents, whereas in children and elderly, they are usually related to falls. [12] In general, clavicle fractures are treated conservatively and have a good outcome. In 1960, Neer reported a non-union rate of 0.1% with conservative treatment[3] and Rowe corroborated these findings in 1968 and showed a non-union rate of 0.8% in conservatively managed patients.…”

Introduction:Clavicle fractures accounting for 3 to 5% of all adult fractures are usually treated non-operatively. There is an increasing trend toward their surgical fixation. The aim of our study was to investigate the outcome following titanium elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) for midshaft non-comminuted clavicle fractures with >20 mm shortening/displacement.Materials and Methods:A total of 38 patients, which met inclusion criteria, were reviewed retrospectively. There were 32 males and six females. The mean age was 27.6 years. The patients were assessed for clinical/radiological union and by Oxford Shoulder and QuickDASH scores. 71% patients required open reduction.Results:100% union was achieved at average of 11.3 weeks. The average follow-up was 12 months. The average Oxford Shoulder and QuickDASH scores were 45.6 and 6.7, respectively. 47% patients had nail removal. One patient had lateral nail protrusion while other required its medial trimming.Conclusion:In our hands, ESIN is safe and minimally invasive with good patient satisfaction, cosmetic appearance, and overall outcome.

Abstract:Introduction: Fractures of the clavicle are common injuries with an incidence of 5-10% of all fractures [1]. These fractures are generally managed conservatively. Titanium elastic nails are a promising minimally invasive treatment for displaced mid-clavicular fractures, which may be an alternative to plate fixation or even nonoperative treatment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional and radiological results of intramedullary fixation of mid-clavicular fractures. Methods: Between January 2007 and June 2013, 48 patients with type A and type B middle third clavicle fractures (OTA Classification) underwent flexible intramedullary nailing with titanium elastic nail. Implant removal was performed in all the patients after the fracture united completely. Results: The mean constant shoulder score for 47 patients at 6 weeks was 56.98 (range: 44-72), at 3 months was 91.25 (range: 54-98), at 6 months was 96.38 (range:64-100), at 12 months was 98.75 (range:68-100), at 18 months was 99.50 (range:78-100), and at the end of 24 months it was 99.58 (range:80-100). Conclusion: Flexible intramedullary nailing, a minimally invasive technique for stabilization of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures is a simple procedure with excellent functional outcome in terms of quick return to sporting activities and a high patient satisfaction rate.

Fracture of the clavicle is one of the very common skeletal injury constituting around 5-10% of all bony injuries in adults and around 80% of these occurring in the midshaft [3][4][5] . Despite its high incidence the best treatment modality is still unclear. We prospectively compared the outcomes in terms of rate of radiological union and functional outcome in treatment of midshaft clavicle fractures by conservative (CONS) or operative which had two sub-groups that is treated by plating (PLATE group) or by titanium elastic nail (TENS group).
