Closed treatment of displaced middle-third fractures of the clavicle gives poor results.
We evaluated 242 consecutive fractures of the clavicle in adults which had been treated conservatively. Of these, 66 (27%) were originally in the middle third of the clavicle and had been completely displaced. We reviewed 52 of these patients at a mean of 38 months after injury. Eight of the 52 fractures (15%) had developed nonunion, and 16 patients (31%) reported unsatisfactory results. Thirte...
متن کاملOperative fixation of displaced middle third clavicle (Edinburg Type 2) fracture with superior reconstruction plate osteosynthesis.
BACKGROUND Conservative management of middle third clavicle fracture has been recently reported with suboptimal outcomes. Despite higher nonunion rates in initial open reduction and internal fixation, understanding the problem better and taking in accounts of previous shortcomings, such fractures can be optimally treated by open reduction and internal fixation with reconstruction plate. OBJEC...
متن کاملAssessment of the treatment outcome of closed extra-articular distal tibia fracture: IM nailing vs plating
Abstract Background: The tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common type of long bone fractures encountered by most orthopedic surgeons. In accordance with descriptive indices of tibia fractures on the basis of their location in the bone, distal tibia fractures have the second incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle tibia fractures. The purpose of the study was to asses...
متن کاملTreatment of Displaced Mid-Clavicle Fractures by Closed Titanium Elastic Nail
Introduction: Recently, intramedullary nailing for displaced middle third fractures of clavicle has received wide attention. Though open nailing has been widely described, closed nailing finds less mention. This paper therefore aims to study the outcome of closed titanium elastic nailing for displaced mid-clavicular fractures. Material and Methods: This was a prospective study of 34 patients wi...
متن کاملWho should be treated surgically for a displaced clavicle fracture?

In the current issue of Acta Orthopaedica, Ban et al. present results of a survey among Scandinavian orthopedic surgeons on attitudes to treatment of displaced clavicle fractures. The res...
