Abstract
Materials & Methods: In this prospective, randomized study of 40 cases with clavicle fracture 20 patients were treated conservatively and 20 with IMN and were followed up at 4th, 8th and 12th week and 6th and 12th month. Time for fracture union was measured radiographically and Functional Outcome was assessed using Constant Murley Shoulder score. Patients with pathological fractures, open fractures, comminuted fractures, segmental fractures and fractures associated with neurovascular injury were excluded.
