Abstract:Background and objectiveMidshaft clavicular fractures were managed conservatively in the past, with a significant incidence of nonunion and poor functional outcomes in displaced fractures. Anatomically precontoured clavicle plates, since their introduction, have proved to be a superior method for managing these fractures. While open reduction and internal fixation of displaced clavicular fractures with plates have produced successful functional outcomes, complications like plate prominence, scar, postoperative… Show more
