Background Midclavicular fractures are common clinically, accounting for about 76% of all
clavicular fractures. Recent studies have revealed a previously unrecognized incidence of …

Intramedullary titanium elastic nails have been reported to fix displaced midclavicular
fractures with excellent functional outcomes and minor complications. This study reports and …

Objectives: Clavicular fractures account for 2.6% of all fractures, and more than 80% involve
the middle third of the clavicle. Plate fixation has been the most common method of fixation …

BACKGROUND: This study compared titanium elastic nail (TEN) fixation with plate fixation in
patients with uncomplicated midshaft clavicle fractures. METHODS: The records of 57 …

Background Nonoperative management of midshaft clavicle fractures (MSCFs) is standard;
however, it is now generally accepted that displaced midshaft clavicle fractures benefit from …

Clavicle fractures are common, accounting for 2.6 to 10% of all fractures. Treatment of these
fractures is usually non-surgical. Recent evidence, however, reveals that the final result of …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the results achieved in two groups of 40
patients, treated for uncomplicated midclavicular fractures. Methods Group 1 (mean age …

Background: In up to 31% of cases, nonsurgical treatment of midshaft clavicular fractures
leads to unsatisfactory results such as nonunion, brachial plexus irritation, shortening and …

Background Osteosynthesis of clavicular fractures is sometimes indicated. Since plate
fixation may lead to complications, we have used elastic stable intramedullary nailing and …

Background: We compare the use of plate and screws versus intramedullary nails in the
operative management of patients with displaced midclavicular fractures. Methods: Between …
