Functional Outcome Following Anatomical Locking Compression Plate by Open Technique and Minimal Invasive Percutaneous Osteosynthesis (Mipo) Technique in Mid Shaft Clavicle Fracture
Abstract:INTRODUCTION: Clavicle fractures are common injuries in adults, accounting for 5% of all fractures and 44% of all shoulder fractures. Furthermore, there is an increasing incidence of complex fracture patterns after high-energy trauma. Incidence in males is usually highest in second and third decade which decreases thereafter as per age. Clavicles mid shaft fractures have classically been treated non-operatively. However, factors including severity of displacement, degree of comminution, and greater than 2 cm o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
