Functional and clinical outcome of fracture clavicle treated by nailing vs plating technique: a comparative study
Abstract
Introduction: Clavicle bone fractures are among of the most common bony injuries encountered in orthopaedic opd and emergencies. Clavicle fractures are commonly seen in young adult. The most common site of fracture in the clavicle occurs at the middle third and which accounts for almost 80% of all clavicle fractures. This study is done to compare the functional and clinical outcome of fracture clavicle treated with nailing vs plating.
Material and method: This study includes 44 patients with diagnosed clavicle fractures. After admission thoroughly history was taken and clinical examination done with general condition, vitals and radiological assessment was also done. After getting PAC fitness patients taken randomly by chit system for surgical fixation of fracture either by nailing or plating technique.
Results: Our study shows that nailing technique is better than plating technique on the basis of CMS score.
Conclusion: Based on the data of 44 patients, the TENS method appears to be a favourable option than plating for orthopaedic treatment due to its less invasive nature, faster recovery times, and better early functional outcomes. However, the final decision should also consider the specific fracture pattern,clinical scenario, patient preferences and the potential for long-term complications.
