A prospective study of management of middle shaft clavicle fracture in general population by precontoured locking compression plate

Abstract

AIM: This study has been undertaken to study the role of precontoured locking compression plate in fixation of mid third clavicle fractures. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the results 20 cases of midshaft clavicle fracture treated with precontoured locking compression plate during period from September 2019 and September 2020 in JJM Medical College, Bapuji hospital and Chigateri general Hospital Davanagere. Results: Out of 20 patients operated with precontoured LCP, out of which one patient developed plate prominence, one had implant failure, none of them developed non-union. Union was evaluated clinically and radiographically. Conclusion: This implant has been provided with compression mechanism to achieve maximum compression, fast fracture healing and early mobilization.
