Abstract

Clavicle fractures contribute approximately 2.6% among other fractures of the body and account for approximately 44% to 66% of all fractures around shoulder.Middle 1/3rd of the clavicle is most prone for fracture because this area is weakest.Many studies which has been done till now has stated the effectiveness of open reduction internal fixation with plating for displaced clavicle fractures and it was noted to have high union rate and lower risks of complication.Usually locking compression plate are used to get a satisfactory results with low risks of complication in cases of majority of complex clavicle fracture.
