Functional Outcomes and Complications After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mid-shaft Clavicle Fractures: A Retrospective Study
Open reduction and internal fixation of the clavicle give a high likelihood of fracture union along with good shoulder function. In a particular cohort of patients, this offers a quick recovery and earlier return to activity. However, this must be balanced with the risk of complications in a considerable proportion of operated patients, some of which might necessitate a second surgery.
