Dr Atul Patil, Dr Prashant Bhandari

Abstract :

Aims and objectives: To study the technique of platting in displaced comminuted middle third clavicular fractures. To evalvaluate the results of this technique. To compare our results with those in the literature. Material and methods: The study was carried out in Smt Kashibai Naval Medical College, Narhe, Pune. 30 patients both male and female chosen from age group 18 to 60 yrs. Displaced comminuted fractures of clavicle Robinsons type 2B1,2,3and 3B2. Patients were evaluated using Constant and Murley scoring system. Data was analysed under headings like; age distribution, sex ratio; type of fracture, duration of union, functional assessment, complication. Results: In our study majority of the fractures united between 8 to 12 weeks i.e. 26 patients. In 4 patients there was delay in union as there was a displaced butterfly fragment and some comminution. They finally united with the main fragment at the end of 14 weeks. There was no non union and there was excellent functional outcome. Conclusion: Clavicle fractures are usually treated conservatively but there are specific indications for which operative treatment is needed like comminuted, displaced middle third clavicle fractures. All the fractures united and there was no non union. For displaced, comminuted middle third fracture fixation and early mobilization gave excellent results
