Prospective Study of Functional Outcome of Displaced Middle Third Clavicular Fractures Treated by Plate Osteosynthesis

Introduction: Clavicle fractures are common injuries seen among adults (2-5%).1 Fracture of the middle 1/3rdof clavicle constitutes for 70-80% of fractures, lateral end fracture contributes to 15-30% and medial end fractures contribute to 3% of fractures which are least common.Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plating provide early functional recovery with less incidence of non-union and malunion.Non-surgical management is not considered optimum for managing clavicle fractures. Aim of the study:To know the functional outcomes of surgical management of middle third displaced clavicle fracture by ORIF with locking compression plate.
